Compassionate care when you need it most.
As an End-Of-Life Doula, I am passionate about end of life care and providing support for those dying and those supporting someone who is dying. Coming from a large family it has been my life experience to care and support our dying and elderly. I have my own personal life experience with sudden death and expected death and understand the significance and the reality of not having those hard conversations around death.
I truly believe that the last chapter of our life deserve as much energy, preparation and planning as all the chapters before. With mindfulness and compassionate intention, death and dying can be prepared for.
I strongly believe that those facing death are in fact still living and deserve to be regarded as such. Acknowledgment of the life lived and the energy that remains can bring to fruition last adventures, goals/wants. Allowing for one the potential to feel fulfilled and at peace at their end of time.
~excerpt from Donna Ashworth
WHEN I GO
When I go
don't learn to live without me
just learn to live with my love
in a different way.
and if you need to see me
close your eyes
or look in your shadow
when the sun shines.
I'm there.
Sit with me in the quiet
and you will know
that I did not leave
There is no leaving
when one soul is blended with another.

IS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE ALWAYS WATNED TO DO BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO? A LIFETIME THAT SPANS DECADES DESEVERS TIME IN THE SPOT LIGHT AND THE WORLD DESERVES TO WITNESS IT.
AN IDEA SUCH AS AN ART SHOW CAN BE DAUNTING AND UNIMAGINABLE BUT WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEONE BEHIND YOU DOING THE HEAVY LIFTING IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO TURN INTO SOMETHING EVEN LARGER THAN YOU COULD HAVE IMAGAINED.

MEMORY/TREASURE BOX
IN YEARS PAST PEOPLE HAVE AVOIDED LEGACY OR CONVERSATIONS OF INHERITANCE. CONSTRUCTING AND BUILDING LEGACY/MEMORY/TREASURE BOXES ADD THE LOVE AND MEANING BEHIND THE MEMENTOS. ATTACHING A LABEL OR SHORT NOTE EXPLAINING THE HISTORY OF THE PIECE GIVES THE TRUE VALUE IT HOLDS AND THE ATTACHMENT OF LOVE TO THE PERSON YOU ARE GIFTING IT TO.
"It's not just other people we need to forgive.
We also need to forgive ourselves.
For all the things we didn't do.
All the things we should have done.

Navigating Pet Death Certification
Through my own lifetime, I have personally experienced and respect the death and grief one can journey through with the death of a pet.
It is just as essential to acknowledge and grieve the lost life and companionship after a beloved pet dies.
