Support

Support comes in a variety of ways to those on their end of life journey. For some this may mean coming to a bedside and provide regular and scheduled supportive sessions, listening to music or discussing unfinished concerns. Others may need support for the primary caregivers so they can have time away for self care and rest. Doulas can additionally help to set and hold the space for meaningful conversations to occur between loved ones.
