Calming Lotus of Death
Peace my heart, let time for parting be sweet. Let it not be death, but completeness. Let love melt into memory and pain into songs. Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest. Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night. Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence. I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light your way. By Rabindranath Tagore
My name is Hope, and as a Death Doula, my goal is to help you approach death holistically. The circle of life calls us to our death. As we work together during the end of your life, I can guide you in processing your life experience, explore unfinished elements of your life, assist in creating peaceful rituals during your death, and support your family and friends in their grief once you've transitioned. My goal is to bring you a sense of acceptance and peace in your death.
I have been a registered nurse for 16 years, working with many diverse patient populations. I have also worked as a Hospice nurse. My calling has always been to death. I have witnessed many end of life transitions, and have felt blessed to be part of the sacred space that surrounds death. I have been gifted in providing peace during the end of life, and have been trained through the International End of Life Doula Association, working towards certification.
If you or a loved one are approaching end of life, and would like to experience the guidance of a Death Doula, please contact me. I would be honored to be present with you.
