I began training with Living Well Dying Well following my experience volunteering on the ward at the local hospice.  I realised that it is possible to have a good end of life and that it doesn’t have to be a scary, lonely or painful experience if you have the right people involved.  Becoming and End of Life Doula will enable me to help people experience a good death at home and to support family and friends so that the experience is one of calm.  By enabling people to support their loved ones at home rather than in the busy, clinical environment of a hospital allows everyone the time and space required to gain closure and comfort for the future.
