I would like to be integral
in shifting someone’s experience of death

from being a medical event
to a sacred passage

by helping them to leave this world
in their best way.

Many people who are dying say that they have never felt more alive,
and this is possible for you!

“It’s your light that lights the world.”

- Rumi

Caregivers can receive
much needed respite care
as this is an overwhelming,
mentally, and physically exhausting time.

A comforting presence can include friendship over a cup of tea, gentle touch massage, soothing words, guided relaxation techniques, or a listening ear.

Sharing memories and reflecting on life can bring peace near the end of life. This can lead to meaningful conversations and assistance with facilitating any relationships that need reconciling.

Legacy projects may include creating a journal, empowering the person to tell their own story. Writing can also open up opportunities for worthwhile discussions. Or, a doula can help write down a person’s dying wishes ensuring their desires will be honored.

Providing simple care such as running errands, assistance with paperwork, helping with drinks and snacks or supporting people in their decisions to die on their own terms such as VSED (voluntarily stopping eating and drinking).

Caregivers and family members need respite and encouragement; a doula can provide relief, a necessary break, and grief support, as well as an objective and neutral point of view that is sometimes needed should family conflicts arise.

Being present and providing companionship such as reading stories or poetry aloud can be comforting and therapeutic. Playing games, favorite music, supporting the person’s spiritual or religious practices, or perhaps just sitting quietly are other ways to help the person feel cared for and loved in their final days.

Many people have said that their last weeks, months, or years of life were the best and most meaningful period of their life.

While the end of life may be physically challenging, I can help you bravely take the emotional journey inward to contemplate, reflect, and reconcile.

 

 

 

My goal is to create a comfortable and loving setting for you to enjoy the best end-of-life experience you can possibly have.

It would be my honor to provide comfort...

A Note about Dementia...

The nature of dementia often results in the patient unable to make choices for themselves.

It is important for the family and loved ones to address end-of-life care with their loved one at early onset of dementia in order to be fully confident about following their wishes.

When this is not possible and the disease has progressed, an end-of-life guide will do their best to work with the families and friends, using their best judgment of what the person would have wanted before their diagnosis.

A doula is a very loving, gentle, and comforting presence
for the person suffering from memory loss and their family.

“Death can be something beautiful. It is like going home...”

- Mother Teresa
