Planning a Mindful Departure
The Inevitable
All living things follow a cycle of existence, growth, development, and eventual death. However, many of us tend to shy away from acknowledging this reality. Fear and an excessive reliance on medical interventions have contributed to our often dysfunctional relationship with dying. It's crucial to remind ourselves that dying and death are inherent aspects of life.
Just as we undergo a gestation period in our mother's womb to come into the world, the dying process can be seen as a form of gestation, a transition leaving this world.
The support of an End of Life (Death) Doula brings humanity into the process of dying and coping with death.
The End-of-Life Doula
Comprehensive End of Life Care
Together, we will create a personalized, holistic care plan that considers your unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. My experience not only as a doula but also as an RN in hospice care allows me to support pain management and comfort measures.
Emotional Support
Compassionate Listening is an integral part of the process. It involves Creating a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals and their families to express their thoughts and emotions.
Comprehensive Care
End-of-Life Planning
Creating a meaningful and personalized end-of-life celebration can be a rewarding process. I can offer assistance in documenting and ensuring the fulfillment of end-of-life wishes, respecting cultural and spiritual beliefs.
Family Support
Death Doulas guide families through the grieving process. Sessions to create a strategy for coping with the loss of a loved one can be beneficial in the bereavement period.
Equine-assisted sessions can be incredibly supportive for loved ones.
Supporting the Process
Legacy Work
It is essential to share the stories and wisdom. Collaboratively, we'll create meaningful projects like journals or letters, leaving a legacy for future generations.
Vigil Support
I can be present with the individual who is passing or with loved ones, offering a comforting and supportive presence.
My techniques ease anxiety and promote serenity during the transition to the end of life.
Unexpected Deaths
The services of a Death Doula can be essential to process the powerful emotions that are felt in the aftermath of a sudden death. Sometimes, even years later, there is a yearning to understand the lingering grief of a loved one's passing.
Equine-supported therapy can be a powerful way to process an unexpected death.
Empathic Support
If you or a loved one are facing the end-of-life journey and are seeking compassionate, holistic care, please reach out for guidance and support during this challenging time. You don't have to navigate this journey alone.
Services can be in-person or via Zoom.
