I thought I had more time.
Ideally, we would all approach our death with discussions had, decisions made, and fully evolved plans in place. However that is the exception rather than the rule. Consequently, you may miss the opportunity for a more gentle and peaceful dying experience for yourself or someone important to you. When a diagnosis has been made you may not want to acknowledge what is happening - that death is possible, or that it may be the only outcome. Resistance to a coming death does not change the number of days left in a finite lifetime. But it can strongly influence the quality of those remaining days. Some aspects of the dying process can be predictable. But the path of an illness may not happen as expected. There may be surprises, sometimes not so pleasant, along the way. Other health issues may appear. Active dying may arrive faster than we anticipated. I thought I had more time. When prepared, you are far better equipped to deal with the unexpected. When you have planned for what you know, it is more likely that you will be able to cope when the unknown happens. Services provided by Tidal may help you from diagnosis through the post-mortem period whether you are a dying person, a family member, or friend. They have been organized in three broad categories: – Planning for End of Life - Active Dying, and - After End of Life If you wish to know more about my Standards of Practice, details can be found on the End of Life Doula Association of Canada website here. It is also important to note that there are some doula services not offered by Tidal. Those include personal care work, solo-vigiling, counselling, and therapy. If you would like to discuss any of the services offered by Tidal, please contact me at your earliest convenience. |
