End of Life

Death and dying can feel overwhelming and scary for people, as most of us are not prepared for this stage of our lives until it's right in front of us. 

 

For most, death and loss are the absolute hardest things in life.  If we cannot even talk about it, how do we know what to do, when we are in it?  

 

If you are alone in this process, please know you're not.  Emily has experience in accompanying people at their end-of-life. She will support and accompany you and your family during this transition. 





 

We have birth doulas who support pregnant women during their pregnant and birthing process. Similarly, we also have doulas for the dying and their families at a different life transition. 

 

Whether you received a life-limiting diagnosis, or if you are caring for a loved one near the end of life, a doula is here to support, comfort and walk alongside you.  

 

We cannot take away death, but we can be there in love and comfort. 



 

 

"Dying is a journey through the unknown. Having a doula to accompany and guide us made such a difference. They didn’t take away the suffering, but they softened it, opened us to new possibilities of engagement, and helped us feel safe with the unexpected. I cannot imagine how I would have managed without a doula." 

 



Available Services:

 

1. Consultation about fear of death

Why we are afraid of death?   

 

We don't have to wait until we receive a terminal diagnosis to contemplate death and dying.  Some people explore this topic before they receive a terminal diagnosis. They end up living a more fulfilled life.

 

It is our human nature to resist change and to fear the unknown.  While your mind is clear and your body is able, we can explore this topic with insights and compassion.
