End-of-Life Doula Services

The time at end-of-life is as unique as any one individual life is unique.  End-of-life doulas bring with them knowledge and experience in companioning the dying person and family through the dying process. Doulas offer guidance, being mindful of individual belief systems, culture and family dynamics.

Personalized guidance may include:
  • Conversations on how the last days may unfold when the loved one dies at home.
  • A compassionate presence, and vigil presence.
  • Emotional spirit guidance
  • Respite for caregivers.
  • Guided visualization or meditation for pain and anxiety control.
  • Assist families/community of friends in creating legacy projects. 
  • Create rituals that honor and recognize the uniqueness of their loved one.
  • Develop a plan for community vigil.
  • Processing grief
  • ​Discuss legal options in Post-Death care & Home Funeral​

      Optional Special Cleaning/Clearing services: 
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 or after death. 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.

 End-of-Life Plan of Care

We assist you in exploring options and documenting your personal wishes with advance care planning. We can help you co-create an end-of-life plan of care. 
“Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said.
​A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built of a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touches some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you’re there.”
 
~ Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

​Take me back oh hills I love,
Lift me from this lonely bed,
Light my way with stars above,
Curl soft winds about my head,
Wash my feet in crystal streams,
Cradle my arms in boughs of oak,
Breathe the scent of pine for dreams,
Wrap me tight in earthen cloak.
