Death Work Services
What could be possible if we stopped viewing conversations around death as something to avoid out of fear and started embracing the truth that death is simply another part of life? Being supported during death can not only prevent the experience from turning into a traumatic event, but also create space for the shifts, the unknown and the unexplainable that surround death.
Our humanity reflects back this constant truth- "We must change in order to grow." We live on a planet where Night fades into Day and Winter melts into Spring. Our own cycles of Childhood give way to Adulthood and eventually Life begins to merge into Death.
When we treat physical death as another inevitable and sacred transition, we can infuse the process with care, dignity, love and individuality. The role of a Death Doula is to honor the desires of their dying client and the family through this process.
Legacy Work
Creating a tangible tribute, that truly honors the essence of the dying person, helps us make peace with the changes and transitions of death. This can be helpful for the dying person or the family.
Death Labor
Death can be a deeply personal final act of care for your loved one. Informed decisions and assistance from a Doula can help the dying person transition in a familiar setting surrounded by love.
Grief Work
Grief is our response to loss. Many emotions precede death and will continue for our family after we are gone. This work creates a sacred relationship with our grief whenever it arises.
