End-of-Life Support & Care
Compassionate presence throughout hospice care and during the dying process.
Facing death, whether your own or someone you love, brings profound fear of the unknown, helplessness, and isolation in our death-denying culture that treats dying as medical failure rather than sacred transition.
Through compassionate end-of-life doula support including education, legacy work, vigil sitting, death companionship, and bereavement care, you'll receive guidance through unfamiliar territory, practical caregiving support, and sacred space holding so death can be honored as the profound transition it is, not faced alone or in fear.
Sacred companionship for dying persons and their families, providing emotional, spiritual, and practical support through the dying process, vigil attendance, legacy work, and bereavement care that honors death as a profound transition rather than merely a medical event.
End-Of-Life & Death Doula Support
End of life is a sacred transition.
As an end-of-life doula, I provide emotional, spiritual, and practical support to individuals and their loved ones during this time.
Whether through legacy projects, guided relaxation, ritual, or simple presence, my role is to bring calm, dignity, and companionship to the dying process, honoring each person's values and wishes.
Sacred Companionship
Through Life's Final Transition
Understanding the Dying Process
Education about what happens physically, emotionally, and spiritually during dying so families understand what to expect and recognize what's normal versus concerning.
Dying Person Companionship
Presence and support for the person who is dying—someone who sees them as whole person, not just dying patient, and honors their journey.
Family Support and Guidance
Helping family members understand how to provide comfort, what the dying person needs, and that their presence matters even when they can't "fix" anything.
Legacy Work and Life Review
Supporting the dying person in recording their stories, creating ethical wills, writing legacy letters, completing unfinished business, and leaving something meaningful for loved ones.
Vigil Sitting
Continuous or intermittent presence as death approaches so the dying person isn't alone, maintaining sacred space and supporting family during vigil.
Death Attendance
When possible, I will being present during death itself to hold sacred space, support the dying person's transition, and ensure family feels supported rather than traumatized.
Anticipatory Grief Support
Acknowledging and supporting the grief that occurs while the person is still alive—the anticipatory loss that families experience during dying process.
Environmental Creation
Helping create peaceful, sacred space for dying: lighting, music, aromatherapy, meaningful objects, whatever brings comfort and dignity.
Bereavement Support
Continued presence and support after death occurs—because grief continues and families need ongoing companionship.
Cultural Sensitivity
Respect for diverse cultural and spiritual death practices from around the world—or secular approaches for those without religious beliefs.
Respite for Caregivers
Providing breaks for exhausted family caregivers so they can rest, knowing someone trustworthy is present.
