Sacred Passage Doula
Support and Guidance
Providing comfort, healing and beauty to lives touched by terminal illness and grief.
As an end-of-life doula I provide non-medical care and support to people who are terminally ill and their loved ones. By providing a compassionate, impartial presence during a time when emotions can feel overwhelming, I ensure that both my client and their loved ones can focus on what is most important throughout the dying process. I also serve as an advocate for my clients’ wishes once they can no longer speak for themselves.
The support I provide will vary depending on each client’s unique needs and preferences.
Services include:
Companionship
Education on the dying process
Defining a “good death”
Meditation/mindfulness practices
Attending appointments & taking notes
Running errands
Support in processing medical information
Advance care planning
Facilitating important conversations
Implementing final wishes
Planning after-death care & funeral
Rituals for comfort and healing
Assistance with legacy projects
Advocacy for client’s final wishes when they can no longer speak for themselves
Providing updates to loved ones
Vigil care
Grief support
Additional family and client support is available, depending on needs.
I also provide grief support in cases of sudden, unexpected death, or suicide.
