A Life to End of Life (LEOL) practitioner provides
services for individuals and their loved ones moving through profound times of
transition in life related to personal loss. The coach guides a one-on-one
process of reflection and exploration to give deep insight into the physical,
emotional, spiritual, mental and practical aspects of the client’s life.
The outcome can bring
resolution and closure to lifelong struggles and patterns. The intimate process
takes three months or longer, and is most often transformative with a
heightened sense of self-awareness and renewal. Many individuals choose this
process to move through great loss even if they are not approaching end of
life.
An end-of-life (EOL) doula, commonly called a death doula or soul
midwife, provides holistic, non-medical support and comfort to individuals and
their loved ones moving through the final passage.
They companion active dying
and mourning, facilitating and holding space for the spiritual and emotional
labor needed to prepare for death and for loved ones before, during and after
death with education and guidance; emotional and spiritual care; and
logistical, practical assistance.
The doula assists in EOL care and vigil planning, signs
and stages timeline, along with making community connections experienced in the
practical planning and process of transition and after-death needs. These
doulas are experienced spiritual and death care advocates that empower clients
to view death consciously as a part of life and advocate the concept of living
with the end in mind.
