End-of-life Doula

I have been and End of Life Doula for over 5 years. I have worked at the same assisted living facility starting out as a CNA filling numerous other positions and finally ending as the Care Director for several years.  I have had the opportunity of loving and being with several residents for the last part of their lives. Some times it has been months, years, or even a couple of days. I have always been drawn to the special people I work for and consider it a privilege to be with them as much as I can, even to the very end of their mortal life. Some do not have any family or friends, some have large families and support groups. Even still, there are times when they may be alone or in need of comfort and I feel I can be there with them.
