After completing an intensive training course, I have earned a National End-of-Life Doula Alliance (NEDA) Proficiency Badge and End-of-Life Doula (EOLD) Certification from The Dying Year. An EOLD provides a wide range of non-medical services and referrals to people preparing for death. They coordinate with, but do not replace, the help offered by hospice, social workers, financial and legal advisors, funeral arrangers, home health aides, or other caregivers. Within their scope of practice, EOLDs are professionals bound by a code of ethics. Applying my literary skills, the primary service I offer is helping people write their Life Review and Ethical Will. A life review is the process of looking at our experiences, especially our “stories,” to draw meaning from our lives. An ethical will is a statement of the values and life lessons that one wants pass along to those left behind. If you are interested for yourself, or on behalf of a loved one, I’d be honored to assist you. Learn more about my credentials and services at END-OF-LIFE DOULA.
