I have enjoyed a very varied and full life so far, working in many fields while supporting my husband and bringing up my two daughters. After caring for my parents on and off until their deaths, I started working as an End of Life Carer firstly in the community and then in a live-in capacity. Since then I have supported many elderly people in their homes on a 2/3/4 week basis. During that time I have been their companion, guide, and confidant while also caring for all their needs and being there for them during difficult and sometimes upsetting situations. In 2018 I completed my Diploma Course as an End of Life Doula and although retired from live-in caring and active doula work, I continue to work as a mentor to other doulas and am involved with a citizen led volunteer group raising awareness of Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking, as a legal and peaceful way to end one’s life.
