CONSCIOUS DYING COACH, END-OF-LIFE DOULA, & GRIEF COMPANION
My Why for this Work
It was the same story over & over again. Most patients I encountered in the ICU & the OR, even those who had been sick for quite some time, had never had the difficult conversations related to death & dying. Over & over again I witnessed the suffering of patients & their loved ones as choices were being made, to the best of their ability, in a moments notice. I always felt there had to be a better way.
My why for doing this work is rooted in the belief that we all have choices until the very end & planning for the end & being prepared (if you have that ability) is a radical act of kindness & compassion to yourself & your loved ones. We plan for most events in our lives (graduations, weddings, etc.). Why not be prepared at the end, so the dying person can be surrounded with love, compassion, & peace instead of guilt, shame, & other challenging emotions?
I believe that life is a beautiful journey filled with opportunities for growth, learning, & connection. I believe there is power & intelligence within our grief & I believe death is a natural part of life to be honored & respected.
I recognize & honor all fears death brings. I recognize how precious our lives are & believe we are truly here, in our unique expressions, to take up space, live fully, & die with a fulfilled heart.
In doing this work, it is my mission to support my client’s & their families to the best of my ability & support them through their choices, to listen to their voice, until the very end & beyond. ☮
At Spacious Sol, it is my mission – to see you, hear you, and walk alongside you– allowing you to claim your inner magic so you take up space & live fully with your precious life.
