End of Life Care

​

There may be several levels of services and support needed when someone and their loved ones are facing a life-limiting illness. Those services and supports can be provided by several different people and organizations. A person may have medical support that manages the illness, legal support that manages finances, wills and estates, and friends and family support that provides care and practical support. A Death Doula can provide end-of-life care like:

​​

• bedside support

• putting together an after-death 'things to do' package

• assist with physical care 

• provide a safe and comfortable space for the person to talk about dying

• vigiling

• body care after death

• delve into the person's wishes during the dying process and after their death

• help loved ones recognize and address their emotions and concerns

• explore individual and group conflicts and challenges

• bring focus and clarity to a person's wishes

• be an advocate for the person and their family

• help maintain the safety, security, and wellness of caregivers who may be feeling burdened

• support people through the grieving and bereavement process

• share education (e.g. advanced care planning, the dying process, funeral options, etc.)
