IN-HOME END-OF-LIFE DOULA SERVICES
Doulas come into the home and bring with them knowledge and experience in guiding the patient and family through the dying process. The time at end-of-life is as unique as any one individual life is unique. Doulas offer guidance in ways that are suitable to individual belief systems, culture and family dynamics. Doula Guidance may include:
We also provide cleaning/clearing services. Our team can come into the home for deep physical cleaning, sorting and reorganizing the home prior to lying in honor. We may smudge, and hold sacred ceremony to clear the air and assist in transition. Call upon us to assist in clearing the home after death. |
Who We Are |
A Collective of women and men who deeply know the sacredness of the end-of-life. We know that in general our communities have been deeply affected by past death experiences and want to learn a better way of doing death. We know that conversations about death are not easy. Perhaps these talks never happen at all, leaving most people uneducated on the options available in dying and after death care. We know the confusion, fear, and exhaustion that comes with caring for a dying loved one. Our hearts are filled with the desire to be of service. We provide guidance and empower everyone to be involved in the preciousness of the dying process. Even if that involvement is just a little bit at first, we know it will grow. We know it will heal.
