Grief Support and End-of-Life Doula Care
You don’t need to go through it alone
I provide guidance, love, and kinship to seriously ill children, their parents, and their siblings as they experience life’s most profound transitions— together.
WHAT I DO
Title
When my eight-year-old daughter Lucy was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia I watched her face her illness and mortality with bravery and clarity. I learned so much from Lucy during her life, illness, and death, and as a pediatric end-of-life doula, I share that hard-won knowledge with families who seek this type of heart-centered support.
I understand that this journey is overwhelming, as one comes to terms with the end of life as one knows it. Often there are complex medical decisions that must be made, spiritual and emotional pain, and a host of layered emotions.
My job is to help the dying child and their family navigate this intense time with curiosity instead of fear. I hold space for the waves of emotion and intense feelings that arise, allowing you to fully experience the love behind those emotions, and support your child in the process of attaining peace and closure at end-of-life.
Grief Support
Losing a child is a deeply devastating and disorienting experience, creating the sensation that we are living in a parallel universe- which can cause a sense of disconnect and loneliness for the bereaved parent. It can be helpful to talk with someone who experienced the loss of a child long ago, and has done the deep work and training to support others as they learn to live with the powerful emotions and seismic life shifts created by an such enormous and profound loss. I adapt my approach to your specific needs, including couples work, and working together to understand and support grieving siblings.
At this time, I offer grief support sessions to bereaved parents through Zoom or phone calls.
