Why, do we prepare so well for birth, yet give so little attention to preparing for death?
At Living Well, Dying Well they encourage reflection on how to live life fully, while planning and preparing for the end of life.
Their courses, training, conversations and services help people think about it, talk about it and plan for it, in a safe and supportive way. In the UK, they are pioneering the role of a Doula, as a companion and mentor, in support of the whole family, before, during and after this important life event.
They also run training seminars for therapists and health practitioners, to build skills and support them to find ways of feeling more comfortable around death in their professional life.
