“Do you think we ever get the chance
to talk with them again…
the ones we miss?” asked Rabbit.

“I think we already do,” said Bear.
“Every time we sit in the quiet
and open our hearts,
they meet us there…
different now,
but still themselves.”

And this is one of the many reasons why I wrote my book, "How to Choose the Right Hospice." There are just too many hospice agencies out there that are focused on money, and NOT patient care and dignity at the end of life.

Dia de Mu***os (Nov 1-2) is a beautiful tradition, reminding us that love doesn't disappear when life ends -- it transforms.

Whether through photos, flowers or quiet reflection, take a moment to remember the souls who've shaped your journey.

As a Death Doula, I see every day how remembrance heals.

How do you honor your loved ones this time of year? 💜

Who will speak for you when you can’t?
It’s not something we want to think about — but life can change in an instant. A sudden illness. An accident. A surgery that doesn’t go as planned. In those moments, someone will have to speak for you.

Choosing a healthcare advocate (also called a proxy or medical power of attorney) isn’t about giving up control — it’s about keeping it. You don’t have to be sick to plan ahead. It’s one of the most loving and practical gifts you can give yourself and your family.

As a death doula, I help people have these conversations before they’re urgent — so their wishes are clear and their families have peace of mind.

One-minute ritual: stop, breathe, and really see something beautiful. 🌅

The dying teach us how to live. Yes, there can be joy at the end of life.

Taking just a minute to appreciate something beautiful can keep you more grounded, says someone who works with people at the end of their lives.

Covering financial topics like naming beneficiaries, wills, and trusts is one of the many things I do as an End-of-Life Doula — because when you’re facing an illness or terminal diagnosis for yourself or your loved one, it’s overwhelming to figure all of that out. It’s not just about paperwork; it’s about easing stress, making sure loved ones are protected, and ensuring your wishes are clear—which is exactly where doula support becomes invaluable so you don’t have to manage it all alone in a crisis.

Maybe you’ve heard of “The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning.” It’s a guide to proactively downsizing your stuff while you’re still alive. Doing so spares your heirs the mess of doing it themselves, and the potential fights they may have in the process.

Did you know that LGBTQ+ families, people of color, and rural communities often receive less access to hospice and palliative care? 💔 Death doulas are working to change that—by advocating, honoring cultural traditions, and ensuring every voice is heard at the end of life.
