Death Doula Work
As a Death Doula, I offer non-medical care and non-judgmental companionship to the dying and their loved ones. Doulas comfort, guide, support and empower clients and help prepare and move through emotional, spiritual and logistical needs during a time of huge transformation.
A Death Doula can assist with:
-
Planning: Helping the dying person plan for their death and find meaning in their life.
-
Dying: Ensure someone is comfortable and that their wishes are being carried out
-
After Death: Helping the family immediately after death, carrying out logistical needs.
A Death Doula primarily supports the needs of the dying person:
​
-
Talking with the person about dying, identifying their wishes
-
Helping them plan for what they want after their death
-
Helping the dying person find meaning and leave a legacy
-
Helping to create a nice ambiance in the space for death
-
Providing Spiritual support or leading rituals
