End of Life Doula or Hospice?

Both!

End of Life Doulas help hospices achieve their mission!

Hospice nurses and aides are angels! They are caring, empathic healthcare providers with full case loads and many restrictions. 

What do they need to ensure their clients have as good and peaceful death as possible? 

Their clients need more time. 

Doulas have the time and can be there whenever needed. We can help make the emotional and physical transition to hospice. We can stop at the store for them. We can sit with the dying person and listen, and reaffirm end of life wishes. We can talk with the family about what to expect. 

We can share information so they can decide about body disposition. We can coordinate with the hospice team. We can be part of the medical aid in dying team. We can help with home funerals, funeral homes, memorial services. 

Let's support hospice services to do what they do best, caring and monitoring and providing prescription comfort care for the person who is dying. 

So that people can die in peace.
