End-of-life doulas

New moms often hire doulas to help bring new life, their babies, into the world. But you might not know that end-of-life doulas are also getting more popular.

An end-of-life doula is a nonmedical professional who provides physical, emotional and spiritual support to the person whose life is ending, and their families and loved ones.

Guest: Tammy LeeAnne Hostetler of Beaches End of Life Doula.

'The Book of Lost Magic'

"The Book of Lost Magic," written and illustrated by students at the Jacksonville Arts & Music School, is a tale that explores the meaning of friendship.

Kai, Kam, Mira and Bash go from questioning each other to learning to trust and working together to defeat the evil Apollyon, who would want nothing more than to eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
