Grace Package

Compassion care is the term I use for the basic services I provide, which every individual is entitled to. This includes:

·  Regular visits: The frequency of visits will be determined by the stage of illness. Options include once a week, twice a week, or every other week. Each package comes with a set number of visits for each stage, sessions and additional visits can be added as needed

·  Emotional support: Companionship and active listening

·  Spiritual support: Providing comfort and support for spiritual or religious practices, including personalized approaches based on the individual’s beliefs

·  Advocacy: Ensure the wishes of the individual are honored, and advocating those needs with healthcare providers

·  Education: Offering information about the dying process and help alleviate fears and anxieties

·  Advanced planning:  Assisting with estate planning, advanced directives, and  listing of digital accounts and passwords

·  Legacy work: Creating letters, cards, photobooks, recipe collections, memory boxes, video recording, voice recordings, sewing projects with memorable items and much more!

·  Grief support: Help clients and families navigate grief by offering support and resources

·  Holistic care: Help facilitate Mindful and meditation practices, ritual, ceremony, and prayer

·  Facilitating conversations: Encourage open discussion about death and dying, help families address fears, unresolved issues and legacy concerns

On-call assistance available for 72 hours prior to an individual’s transition. This crucial time is often filled with emotional challenges, yet essential tasks still need attention—such as tending to pets, preparing meals, and managing laundry and dishes. I will coordinate with hospice services to provide support for you and your family, including participation in, planning, and scheduling a vigil if desired.

• Services included in final days support 
  • Meal planning and preparation
  • Guest and visitor mediation
  • Errand assistance
  • Light housekeeping
  • Post-event cleanup, including the removal and appropriate handling of medical supplies (e.g., briefs, pads, sponges,) to create a comfortable environment for your family to grieve.
  • Making Phone call to mortuary and scheduling appointment 

Aftercare Family Visit: Follow-up visit to assist the family in processing and grieving.

Light housekeeping, laundry, grocery pickup and organization, meal planning assistance, and help with appointment reminders and scheduling—addressing all the small tasks that can accumulate. Additional support hours can be purchased, subject to availability of doula  

$150+ Organization and declutter: Help create a peaceful and comfortable space for individual and families. Pricing is based on availability of doula, priority of project, and size of project, I will work with you and accommodate your needs and find a suitable solution if the project is too large. 

Together, we will create a more comfortable environment during this sensitive time. We will thoughtfully assess items and plan for the future by discussing and managing personal belongings, ensuring that cherished possessions are honored and that decisions are made collaboratively. This process not only honors memories but also fosters emotional clarity and peace.

FREE Vigil: Each package includes the option to add a vigil at no extra cost. I believe vigils are an essential part of my role as an End of Life Doula, but it is ultimately the client’s choice whether to include this service.
