Who Should Use an End of Life Doula?
Everyone is facing death. End-of-life doulas work with those with serious illnesses who are facing death, those who are aging naturally living with increasingly limited physical and cognitive capacity as they get nearer to death —and also for those who are healthy and just want to prepare for death.
“Sue has an incredible gift. Full stop. I believe she is here on this planet to do this work - I have never met anyone who can hold this tender, scary, vulnerable and emotional space with the compassion and strength that she has. After moving through the shock and fear from a breast cancer diagnosis, I decided to work with Sue on creating an end of life plan. Sue led me to deeper clarity and what to revisit now in my life to create a future sense of peace. The result? Less fear. Less anxiety. Comfort in knowing that I sat with the unavoidable truth that I will die someday and have a plan that will honor and support me and those I love.”
