A Roadmap for End of Life
Welcome! Maybe you’ve found your way here because you or someone you love has received a disturbing diagnosis. Or maybe you’ve heard the term “End-of-Life Doula” or “Death Doula” floating around but are not really sure what a Doula is or does. Or maybe death has been on your mind, and you want to be proactive in your thinking and planning about it. Whatever brings you, I’m glad you’re here.
About Renee Steele
As a trained End-of-Life Doula with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and experience as a Hospice Volunteer, I am dedicated to guiding individuals and their families through the complexities of end-of-life planning. I offer education, support, and advocacy to ensure your wishes are communicated and respected. I provide presence and guidance as you navigate this significant journey.
End-of-Life Doula Services
Many of us plan for what we want after our death through wills, trusts, and funeral planning. But what about the time before and during? As a Doula, I want to help you think through and plan for how you want the end of your life to look.
Consider the following:
- Exploring and Facing Fears and Questions About Death: Let’s talk about what’s on your mind.
- Preparation and Planning: Let’s think through together what you want.
- Communicating Your Wishes: How will the important people in your life know what you want?
- Emotional and Grief Support: Who will tend to the pain and grief of those you care about?
Why Plan for the End-of-Life?
We tend to die like we live. Being thoughtful and purposeful about death increases our sense of peace and freedom around it. Planning for end-of-life is beneficial because it:
- Reduces Uncertainty: Ensures that your wishes are known and can be followed.
- Increases Peace: Enhances your own peace of mind and that of your loved ones.
- Eases Decision-Making: Allows family and friends to make decisions with clarity and without guilt or fear.
Give them (and yourself) a compass for guidance.
