Career-long experiences holding space for others during life’s transition led me to become an End-of-Life Doula. I realize that there is no place so lonely as the one we occupy when faced with losses of any kind. Learning to be present for others without judgment or preconceived notions honors and respects a life lived. Support can be very important for identifying, acknowledging, and honoring end-of-life wishes. “Being willing to walk alongside another person on whatever journey they’re on…” (Plett, 2015) makes a difference for everyone. Creating space for someone else’s experiences and ensuring a safe environment allows for grieving well and proper closure. I believe that Such is Life can provide these much-needed services. Certified EOL Doula through the Conscious Dying Institute.
