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 guiding 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​

​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.
