Hudson Valley Hospice is expanding its well-received End-of-Life Doula program. Just as a birth doula brings greater comfort and meaning to the process of labor and delivery, our end-of-life (EOL) Doulas offer the same for the process of dying. This innovative program helps people to:
- Explore and preserve the stories, wisdom and messages that give life meaning.
- Plan for what they want to see, hear, and feel around them in the last days.
- Create and use guided visualization and ritual for comfort and meaning.
- Give loved ones the rest they so badly need from the exhausting demands of caregiving.
- Understand the dying process through round the clock support.
- Insure that the person doesn’t die alone and that the final breaths aren’t missed.
- Reprocess the experience after the death and begin their loved ones grief process.
Our EOL Doula volunteers receive thorough training in understanding the dying process and in the skills that can help bring peace and comfort to all involved.
Please join us for one of the information sessions offered above. After hearing about the program, you can decide if you would like to become an End-of-Life Doula. There is no obligation.
To register for the information session, please call 845-240-7524 or 845-240-7597.
