I hired a 'death doula' to help my mother in her final days
Doulas have become an increasingly normal part of childbirth. These hired assistants help expectant mothers, providing support in the lead-up to, during and after childbirth.

How can we bring death and dying back into the community? Opening up and having conversations with those close to you is a good place to start.

Discussing death and dying is a topic many people avoid, but it holds significant importance for various reasons.

Preparing for the end allows us to fully appreciate the present. Start by discussing your wishes with those important to you, creating a Will, and considering advance planning. Small steps today can bring immense peace of mind tomorrow.

For many, Christmas is a time of connection & celebration. For those grieving, it can also bring a wave of emotions that feel at odds with festivities. Whether you’re missing someone special or simply finding the festivities overwhelming, it’s okay to feel that this time of year isn’t easy.
