This is truly a compassionate career choice that brings peace and wellness to so many families.

Would you use a death doula?

You might have heard about a birth doula but what about an end of life doula?

We recently had the pleasure of producing a traditional Annaprashan family event. The day featured a joyful yellow colour scheme, fun parting gifts, and a gorgeous custom canopy that we created especially for our client.

Some great thoughts here. Planning for the inevitable isn't morbid - it's helpful to your loved ones, and can also be beneficial for you.

Jody Giles is a financial planner who found her true calling after becoming a mother and almost losing her mother. These experiences taught her the value of planning for death -- not only to leave our loved ones in better shape when we go, but also to inspire us to live our best lives.

We love to look back at some of the celebrations we've been involved with. Here's a lovely note from Louise:

"How does one prepare a funeral for a loved one?

For me it was made a bit easier because my daughter had left me with specifics. She wanted an event that reflected the joys she had towards close family, and friends. A celebration of life that reflected many joys.

So when Christine offered her help, I gladly and gratefully accepted. We met with her and she listened attentively, focused on what Lisa must have wanted. And Christine did just that! She delivered! It was what is to most, the last commemoration, and the most difficult. There are no words to express that Christine proved herself to be the utmost professional, but one with great feeling and respect to make sure that my daughter's wishes were honoured.

The celebration of life that Christine organized was the most beautiful I had ever attended. She has that special magic touch. My family owes her a debt of gratitude. In what was the hardest time and she lightened my load and delivered on every count. Thank you Christine for your great sense of capturing the essence of what my daughter Lisa wanted: to savor life."

Have you heard about the growing Death Doula movement? Like these compassionate workers, we believe that discussing and facing end-of-life isn't morbid - it's an important reality.

For end-of-life doulas, accompanying the dying is anything but morbid.
