Walking alongside grief, trauma, and end-of-life
Interview with: Maux Elworthy Professional Certified Coach, International Coaching Federation, Registered Doula, End of Life Doula Association of Canada
In this episode we explore:
- What does a death doula do?
- Why are death doulas needed?
- Who do you serve?
- What kind of supports do you offer?
- Why do you do this work?
- What do you wish people knew about end of life?
Invitation to find a way to be with your own mortality – some ideas include:
- Attending a Death Café.
- Exploring a cemetery.
- Talking with a loved one about someone who has died.
- Design a ceremony to acknowledge a grief or death anniversary or life milestone.
- Start to think about what you would want at your end-of-life.
These activities could be done on your own, with a supportive friend or family member, or with a professional (doula or counsellor).
