A Doula For Self-Care

Do you have someone who cuts your hair just the way you like it?
Or a massage therapist that you see when you need some healing touch?
Or a trusted psychotherapist or lawyer or doctor that you call upon as needed?
That's what an end of life doula is for- someone you know and trust, who can be there if you are going through the loss of someone you love or if you become sick.
Someone you can review your advance care directive with; who understands your end of life wishes; who knows your closest family and friends, who gets that you need space and time to grieve loss in your own way.
Someone who will be there the way you want to be supported, as you end your time here on earth.
I think everyone should have a doula, as birth doulas usher in new life, death doulas help accompany us out. It helps everyone in the circle of life and death.
