I have been very interested in this service before I even knew there were death doulas. Your voice is so soothing and this information is very helpful in guiding me closer this work. Thank you.

Your amazing! Thank you for your videos. You are helping me feel more and more confident in my choice of becoming an end of life doula. I am a care aid but I want to help guide the person dying into their next journey and I want to be there for the families as well. I just want to support everyone involved to make a difference and to help with the healing process after the loved on has passed. I appreciate that you took the time to make these videos. :)

Deanna...thank you for doing this. I've brought much of these"bag essentials" to seniors, starting out in 2001. I started out going to seniors homes and then to LTC. When I left nursing in acute care in 2000, my co-workers thought I was crazy. I started a private integrative office practice and brought much of this to adults and seniors. I loved it. I then started working assisted living and can teaching which was gratifying....but having found EOLD information on te web was a blessing. I feel this is what my "out of the box mentality" was meant for. I am so looking forward to getting out there and helping people live their dying passage with dignity, love and peace. best wishes to you, blessings!

Thank you so much for your videos Deanna. I'm a retired RN and just enrolled in a death doula course in Toronto. I'm so looking forward to it. As a busy nurse we didn't have a lot of time to spend with end-of-life patients. Being a doula will let me have the time that I always wanted with the clients.

I am so grateful to you for everything you said about how this calling makes you feel in relationship to other people. Thank you. I've felt like a total freak for a very long time. This calling hit me head on in 2011 and although I tried to find a way to meet this calling then, I only found the healing in myself and the courage to move forward a few weeks ago when I discovered this role as a possibility. I'm so grateful and relieved that I hardly know how to speak about it. I just feel joy.

Thank you for making this video. All very interesting.

I am a Nursing Aide and am curious about this course. Is this something that a patient and a family would hire you to do? I have taken the Hospice volunteer training that is offered in my own. It was a 8 week course ( 3 hour sessions) that taught us how to provide an atmosphere for people to feel open to talk about their feelings..at the 3 main age levels..is this something similar...more voluntary work?Dawn

[@KtO680]

your list has a lot of wonderful items for creating a beautiful space for everyone including yourself. it is lovely. i was wondering what kind of very practical items you may keep with you as well (like cotton swabs, towels, plastic bags, those sponge swabs for mouths, gloves, etc)? Also, how do you promote your services and do you have any kind of legal contract between you and your client regarding your services?

[@InfiniteEyes33]

I'm looking to get my certification in September. I don't even know how or what to do to get into this!! Can you give me advice

[@katethompson6412]

How can I take such a course? Is it online?i feel strongly called to do this.

[@katebird1227]

It has been 3 years, did you follow the path?

[@susanarmstrong4295]

Do any of the nursing homes carry any of these items like some alter items, diffuser, special lighting, light up candles we can use instead of carrying them in this bag? I know u are in the states and might be different than Canada. This might be a good thing we can suggest they carry for the families in the future if they have any extra donations money or items people left

[@susanarmstrong4295]

Which oils might be good to use at that time, uplifting or citrus type to cover up the smell of the room, your bag must be very heavy and the car must be large with guitar and massage table and this bag. Your muscles will be strong, but you have all that will make it nice for the patient and family cause they will not think about all of these things. I would ask the family to bring in picture frames and old pictures of things they liked to do in the past if none there already.

[@dollyyourpathstowellness4744]

as a LMT, cream/lotion is usually much better for elderly for many reasons. Might want to google it. blessings
