Perspective | After a loved one dies, red tape adds to the grief Bureaucratic delays and paperwork are frustrating, exhausting, emotionally crushing — and often unavoidable.
We are often asked how a death doula provides support to families transitioning at the end of life.
We like to think of it as a midwife, who helps those that are leaving instead of coming in. Just as we need guides and support at the start or life, we also need guides and support at the end of it. 🙏🏼
The Gig: What it's like being a death doula - Macleans.ca “Simply saying, ‘Death sucks!’ validates clients’ feelings”
Meet BLD’s Elizabeth Wong,
Recently Liz, Erica, and Mary were discussing the overwhelm and fatigue of living in a ‘sandwich’ generation.
As our parents and loved ones age, our responsibilities grow. 🌱
We often struggle to find balance with our children, family, aging parents, and our careers.
We want to acknowledge this, and let you know that you’re not alone.
The holidays add an extra layer of grief to this all, and we have been through a lot these past 3 years… 🫠 WE are ALL feeling it…
It’s our biggest wish that you find some peace, joy, and gratitude in those small moments in life, as the seasons change.
We are all in this together, my friends.
