End of Life Doula Support
For those caring for someone nearing the end of life or preparing thoughtfully for their own.
Death, like birth, is not meant to be walked alone.
I offer steady companionship through the emotional, practical and human parts of dying without rushing or taking over.
Support may include:
End-of-life and legacy planning
Clarifying wishes, next steps and care preferences
Emotional and spiritual companionship
Caregiver support and nervous system regulation
Ritual, vigil and threshold moments
Gentle guidance with after-death care and early grief
How I Can Support You
This support may be helpful if:
You’re caring for someone who is ill or nearing the end of life
You feel overwhelmed, unsure, or alone
You want help slowing down and making sense of next steps
You’re planning your own end of life with care and intention
You want support that honors dignity, presence, and choice
You don’t need to have everything figured out to reach out.
If you’re wondering whether this kind of support could help, we can talk it through together.
Questions that often arise
-
A death doula is a non-medical support person for someone who is dying and for the people who love them. My role is to offer steady presence, help you slow down, talk through what’s coming, and tend to the emotional and practical parts of this time.
-
No. I don’t provide medical care or make clinical decisions.
I often work alongside hospice teams and other care providers, supporting the human side of this experience. While medical teams focus on the body, my role is to support individuals and families emotionally and practically before, during, and after death to make space for grief, meaning and legacy. -
There’s no single “right” moment. Some people reach out while planning ahead, others during active illness and some very close to death. If you’re wondering whether support could help, that curiosity is often enough reason to begin a conversation.
-
Not at all. Many people reach out feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or simply needing someone to talk with. We’ll take things one step at a time.
-
My work is grounded in presence, dignity and care. While it may include reflection, ritual, or meaning-making if that feels supportive, it is not affiliated with any religion and always respects your beliefs and values.
-
Often, the best time is before there is urgency. Planning ahead can ease stress for those you love and give you space to make choices with care.
-
That’s very common. Conversations about death can stir fear, sadness, or uncertainty especially in a culture that rarely makes space for them. We move gently, at your pace. You don’t need to talk about anything you’re not ready for. Often, simply naming what’s present can bring a sense of relief and steadiness.
If you’re here, you don’t have to carry this alone.
You don’t need to know what comes next, or what kind of support you’re looking for. We can begin with a simple conversation and listen together for what feels needed. I’ll meet your message with care.
