End of Life Doula Services
End of life doula services include:
- Life Review, giving you or your loved one the opportunity to talk about their life, their accomplishments, their regrets and unfinished business. Taking the time as a non-judgmental presence to hear all the things that people want to be known before they die. Having a sympathetic ear to review the things that they have done that they are proud of as well as the things they wish they could have done differently.
- Vigil planning, making a detailed plan for how active death will look that includes the basics such as lighting or what readings need to be done to the more complicated rituals.
- Legacy projects, I will help you plan and implement a legacy project to go on after your death. This is sometimes as simple as a series of letters but can be more complicated such as a life scroll or a memorial cookbook or garden.
- Ritual planning for loved ones after death. Having rituals for your family after your death for major holidays as well as anniversaries and birthdays can help them cope with their grief in the initial months and years after death.
- Follow up with your family after your death. Ensuring that your family is coping as well as can be expected in the weeks and months after your death.
