What is a Death Doula and Grief Guide?

A Death Doula is a support person who offers guidance and support to a dying person and their family in their end of life stages. They offer a wide variety of support including physical, spiritual, emotional and psychological. They can act as a bridge from Medical Care to End of Life care, working directly with doctors, nurses, social workers, hospice and funeral services. 

A Grief Guide is a support person who can sit with you in the exact space you’re in within your grieving journey. They are equipped to offer you one-on-one support, resources and tools to help you process and authentically move through your new post-loss life while simultaneously incorporating rituals that honor the grief you’re in. A guide can also connect you with communities that are experiencing a similar loss as you and are also versed in referring out when you may need more extensive support from a licensed professional.
