Simplify Senior Transitions Podcast

Traci Arieli on Embracing End-of-Life Planning with Compassion and Clarity

Dale Corpus Season 1 Episode 28

What if we talked about death not with fear—but with compassion, clarity, and even love?

In this powerful episode of the Simplify Senior Transitions Podcast, I sit down with Traci Arieli, an End-of-Life Doula and host of the Comforting Closure podcast. Traci brings wisdom, empathy, and a calming presence to one of the most important and under-discussed parts of life: its end.

We dive into:

  • What an End-of-Life Doula actually does (and how they differ from hospice)
  • Why conversations about death can actually lead to deeper connection
  • The emotional and spiritual support families need—but often don’t know to ask for
  • How to prepare your loved ones so they’re not left guessing your wishes
  • What it means to “die well”—and live more fully in the process

Whether you’re navigating grief, supporting a parent through a terminal diagnosis, or just want to normalize these critical conversations, this episode will move you, inspire you, and give you practical next steps.
