A question I get often is “Why on earth would you want to do death work!?”
This is why: Throughout my mother’s illness and death in 2016, she had difficulty accepting outside help. My mom often felt that she was being treated like a child, and that the emotional component of dying was overlooked. After being by her side through this experience, I realized that I had a deep calling to become the
caregiver my mom had been searching for. It is important to me to relieve fear, anxiety, and confusion, so that those I serve can focus on what is really important- peace of mind and time with one another. I operate from a place of warmth and sensitivity, while still keeping alive a sense of humor and love of life. The dying process is a painful one, but can also be filled with reflection, discoveries, and immense personal growth for everyone involved.
