At The Breathing Nest, we understand that the journey of life includes both joyous moments and times of profound transition. A Death Doula is a gentle guide who accompanies individuals and their loved ones through the sacred passage of death with compassion and support.

​

What is a Death Doula?

A Death Doula, also known as an End-of-Life Doula, is a highly trained and empathetic professional who specialises in providing emotional, spiritual, and practical assistance during the end-of-life process. They do not replace medical care or hospice services but work in collaboration with healthcare professionals to enhance the overall experience for those approaching the end of their life.

​

How Can a Death Doula Help?

With deep reverence for the uniqueness of each person's journey, our Death Doula at The Breathing Nest offers a wide range of support services tailored to the individual's and family's needs. This may include:

​

Emotional Support: Providing a compassionate listening ear and a safe space to express fears, hopes, and feelings during this tender time.

Advance Care Planning: Assisting with end-of-life planning, helping individuals articulate their values, and ensuring their preferences for medical care and after-death arrangements are documented.

Legacy Work: Encouraging life review, assisting with letter writing, and facilitating meaningful rituals to leave behind a lasting legacy for loved ones.

Spiritual Comfort: Supporting individuals in exploring their beliefs, offering companionship in their spiritual journey, and respecting diverse faith traditions.

Creating Sacred Space: Designing soothing environments that promote peace, healing, and dignity for the person nearing the end of life.
