Death Doulas are Support Workers
Offering four key areas of care
Hello! Thank you for visiting my webpage!
My name is Michele and I am a Death Doula.
Let me share with you an overview of what led me to pursue this vocation. The role of a Death Doula is all about providing trusted and reassuring companionship and quality care. As a Death Doula, I can offer practical guidance and soothing comfort to my clients as they navigate the dying process. I would prioritize giving quality time and attention so nobody feels alone or isolated, enriching their lives socially, spiritually and mentally. I am very interested in being able to assist my clients in the preservation of memories by creating legacy boxes or memory albums, facilitating conversations, encouraging life reviews, writing letters or recording personal stories. I was drawn to providing this kind of care as a result of my own personal experiences with facing death in my own family. I learned the importance of taking care of the relationships we have in our lives before it is too late. While taking my training, I was made aware of the huge need for support for people facing death. I now know that being a Death Doula is so much more than just walking with someone on their journey towards the end of life. A Death Doula offers care, support and a friendly helping hand to anyone who is facing death or to family members who find themselves trying to care for someone who is dying. I have been volunteering my time twice per week visiting a Senior’s Home for the past number of years. My Golden Retriever named Piper has often accompanied me on those visits and has become a welcome guest for many of the residents. I have seen first hand what my visits do to brighten the days and lives of those who live in these homes. My training as a Death Doula has only been made that much more meaningful as I see how just a little bit of time and care can impact another person’s life for the good. I have asked myself many times what I can do to make a difference in someone’s life. I believe being a Death Doula will accomplish that goal.
