Morrie Schwartz Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
To provide comfort, care and guidance for those who are dying, their families and care system.
I believe death is a monumental life cycle that deserves to be acknowledged, planned and prepared for. Customizing vigils during the last chapter of life and support for those loved ones left behind has the potential to create a healthy and loving passing.
Upon a diagnosis or life altering event, compassionate support and guidance enables one and their care system to cope, plan and prepare. Grief is not something you learn to endure, its something you learn to carry.
Creating a customized space reflecting one's wishes, treasures and preferences. A cocoon of comfort created with color, textures, sound, light and scents. As an End-of-Life Doula creating, sitting vigil, providing vigil respite and support is essential for care of the dying and their care system.
Supporting caregivers during dying and death is paramount to the mental and physical wellbeing of those providing care. Emotional support for the multitude of challenges and physical support with completion of tasks or errands.
Professionals in the health care field need support and guidance to enable the essential workers to stay essential.
Short or long term support for those experiencing grief. Experience with death and our ability to grieve has the potential to alter our ability to cope with death or tragedy throughout our own lifetime.
Whether it is from a backlog of unresolved grief or a recent one, one needs to feel in order to move on with the love left with us.

How to cope when your best friend is no longer living his best life.
Decisions, ritual and services pave the path to healing.
Learning how to remember and living well with their memories.
To process we need to examine ourselves and our pain.
We will be discussing grief and what it represents to us individually and learn coping strategies to assist us in moving forward.
Receive comfort and recognition in a group setting and have a self designed piece to have at home.
Pieces to be picked up at a later date to allow for the firing process in the kiln.
As an End-of-Life Doula I have had the pleasure to accompany and guide individual clients through private sessions in the Smash Room. I am so excited to offer the opportunity to share, acknowledge and release grief as a group. Our grief journeys are unique to us individually but we don't have to journey alone.
For those unfamiliar with a Smash Room it is an unique experience of being in a protected room specifically designed to house and smash various items. The venue will play loud music during the smash to provide additional ambience and energy for the activity.
Participants are required to wear protective gear provided at the venue and to sign a waiver and indemnity agreement upon entering the venue.
I will lead with an acknowledgment of grief and request each participant to label their smashables (every participant will receive 10 smashable) that identifies what grief means to them specifically. I believe this type of grief work requires clear intention in order to have a fulfilling release. Following our individual smashes, together as a group we will smash a large item representing grief. I will host a closing ritual to signify our efforts and energy at addressing our grief.
This is a very physical and very loud session in the addressment grief and may not be suitable for all.
Objects are smashed, the grief will remain.
