Death Doula - End of Life Services
An end-of-life doula is a non-medical professional trained to provide emotional, spiritual, and physical support to the dying and their family at an intensely personal and crucial time. The role of a death midwife is to educate and empower families to exercise their innate right to care for their own dead. I assist people in finding meaning, creating a legacy project, and planning for how the last days will unfold. Doulas also guide and support loved ones through the last days of life and ease the suffering of grief in its early stages.
Death is a situation that no one can completely prepare for. Additionally, many people don't have much experience with people close to them dying. Because of this, when it comes to the time to deal with dying there are a lot of questions and uncertainty. A doula's support can relieve stress and burdensome tasks from the family in order to provide care for the dying individual but also gives the individual psychological and emotional support in the process.
To transform the end of life experience so it brings greater meaning and sacredness to every dying person and their loved ones.

“In the American culture, where the majority of people die in hospitals, death has been routinely denied, sterilized, and/or removed from view. Talking about dying with the person that is terminally ill can relieve anxiety for both participants in the conversation, and it can help ensure that final wishes regarding treatment at the end of life are honored.”
Jennifer Rose is dedicated to bringing deeper meaning and greater comfort to dying people and loved ones in the last days of life.
