Illness, caregiving, and end-of-life journeys are often navigated in the dark—fragmented, rushed, and overwhelming. The Waiting Room Revolution invites a different way.

In this one-hour presentation, Laipa explores how individuals, families, caregivers, and companions can move from confusion and crisis toward clarity, confidence, and informed participation in care. Drawing on frontline paramedic experience, healthcare navigation, and advocacy, this session introduces key concepts from the Waiting Room Revolution framework—highlighting how understanding the nature of illness, the purpose of treatment, and the ripple effects of care decisions can reduce suffering and support more dignified journeys.

This presentation is especially relevant for death doulas and end-of-life practitioners who walk alongside others during complex transitions and want practical language, perspective, and tools to support “in-the-know” conversations.
