Bereavement support
What is that?
​
An individual consultation for emotional support and orientation to allow you to express yourself with an open heart, to identify and allay doubts and fears, to demystify the passage of death, to go through the process of mourning, to discover your resources, to regain your power and make informed decisions.
​
I accompany you as much by active listening, pnl coaching questions and benevolent presence.
​
Virtual consultations are done on zoom for a duration of 1 hour. Receipts for insurance available.

For people at the end of life, the initial needs assessment meeting can be done with the family virtually if you wish.
Support meetings can be done on zoom, at your home, at the hospital or at the palliative care home.

What is a thanadoula
Formerly called burier or "envelisseuse", a thanadoula is a doula who accompanies death and mourning.
During this period of your life, I accompany you with benevolence and compassion to regain your power.
​
My role
My role is to allow you to demystify and tame death, that of your loved ones and yours.
Provide the information you need to make the best informed decisions based on your needs.
Help prepare and ensure that the last wishes of the person at the end of life are respected. I offer you psychosocial and emotional support.
At all times, I refer you to the right people according to your needs. No medical act or diagnosis is made. In case of emergency or need, I contact your doctor and your family.
