Denise Brandon, Soul’s Gentle Journey 

 End Of Life Doula

During my years as a care aide in residential care I was honoured to look after my residents in their final days and hours and know that I was able to give them comfort, compassion and dignity. 

It is my hope that I can help people to care for their loved ones at home during such a sacred time. 

Birth and Death are the two most meaningful events in life and it is my hope that I can facilitate a return to experiencing these last moments fully and with gratitude.

Eco-friendly Burial & Cremation Services

Memorial Trees a Beehives

Heritage Gardens was created to provide families - and communities - with affordable, sustainable, eco-friendly burial space.  Our commitment is to service the bereaved with dignity and compassion; preserving the natural beauty and integrity of the land; and producing outstadning memorials that capture the essence of the life lived.

As the only Certified Green Burial site in Metro Vancouver, to us sustainability means growing and donating food on unused property; giving away honey from our beehives to families who have lost a loved one, and standing  with the Memorial Society of BC and the Partners in Care Alliance, to enforce an ethical code of conduct when dealing with grieving families.  To be sustainable, it must be affordable - which is why our prices are less than half of other Metro cemeteries.

Kimberlee Klein, The Unforgotten Ones

 Grief Specialist  

I provide a clear path forward when people are releasing grief after loved one loss, pregnancy loss and pet loss. I do not work with clients forever, we clear the grief then focus on the positive memories associated with each loved one that they miss. Then we create their life again. 

I have created new tools which brings a safe place to release from. Tools such as the Grief Release Process, and the Forgiveness Strategy brings immediate relief to each client. The weight of grief disappears with each session we do.
I offer One on One or Group session format. I also offer a family session for when loved ones initially pass away. I provide a Feelings and Needs tool that helps each family member individually to deal with their grief as it comes up so that the grief doesnt have to add up over time (and ideally they don't need my services in the future😁) 

I also offer a couple of grief courses to be taught in a business setting so people are equipped to talk about grief with their colleagues and retention of employees is kindly organized into businesses processes (aka human processes.)

 End of Life/Death doula 

 As a trained Death doula I provide compassionate non-judgemental support to anyone who is wanting to prepare for their eventual death. Knowing your wishes and desires and having your plans in place that reflect them; is the final gift you leave to those who must  learn to live their lives without you. Having that 'death talk' with your loved ones can seem daunting but I can help guide you. As an Emergency nurse I witnessed too often people burdened to make decisions when they had no idea of what was desired by their loved one for end of life care . This may occur when faced with worsening chronic illness as well as sudden serious illness or catastophic injury.  What matters most? Let's talk...

Life Cycle Celebrant & Sacred Passage Doula

Creating happiness amid bereavement is a high calling; one that speaks to me as a Life-Cycle Celebrant and an End of Life Doula. The passing of a loved one is difficult time in our life's dance. Sudden loss can be almost unbearable in its surprise; the death of an elder after a long life gives us time to say our good byes.  

I am particularly skillful crafting sensitive ceremonies for children and loved ones who have died by suicide. 

My life experience ensures my clients have a caring and compassionate partner as they navigate their end of life journey and plan a Celebrations of Life, consider home funerals, and address the many physical, emotional, spiritual concerns that arise during this time.

Lori Lucki, Celebrant

End of Life Doula, Grief Companion

Knowing every life has a story that needs to be told and is significant, makes it my humble honour to walk this journey with you and your family to create a ceremony that is unique and reflects the true essence of your loved one.  Meaningful funerals are personalized funerals that tell the life story of those who died, and represents  your family’s beliefs and values.  

A Celebration of Life or funeral is a gift to the person who died, and we include as many people as possible in the planning and activities. It is your chance to express the value of the life that was lived. If working with a Funeral Director, I can connect with them to ensure that our services are bridged together.

As an End-of-Life Doula, I assist, advise and inform, by offering physical, emotional, and spiritual support to the dying.  I have been trained to empower, educate and encourage people and their families to be involved in making decisions during the impending process.

To many people, the word “doula” refers to a childbirth coach, but doulas are not only for when life begins — we are there when life is ending to ensure a beautiful transition.

Janet Pillay, Dying the Dream

End of Life Doula & Consultant

Approaching end of life, whether your own or that of someone close, often becomes completely overwhelming with all it entails. Fear, intense emotions, feelings of isolation and lack of peace of mind and calm leave people exhausted, stressed and traumatized.

Imagine being offered compassionate, unconditional support that makes you feel seen and understood. Imagine feeling safe and protected while you pause, absorb and process the magnitude of the situation.  Imagine feeling calm and secure in moving forward with next steps.

Dying the Dream provides this support to those who have received a terminal diagnosis, those who are at their natural end of life and those who care for and about them.

Customized, affordable offerings and gentle guidance encompass end of life planning and preparation, bedside vigils to the actively dying, those who choose MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) and grief healing.

Become liberated and experience an enriched end of life, chock full of purpose and meaning, no matter how much time remains. This is truly dying the dream..

Registered Nurse, Death Doula,

Hello and welcome.  

As an RN, I invite serious illness conversations to allow individuals the opportunity to see where they are and where they are going. We look at what's lost, whats left and whats possible.  

I advocate for informed decision making, viewing all options with and without treatment.  I welcome palliative care services.

As a Death Doula, I work 1:1 with indivduals to companion and navigate through the end of life process, working with the health care team, exploring the goals of care to create a peaceful death.

End of Life Doula, Private PSW, Artist, Teacher

I offer care & support for those experiencing hardships in their lives. Whether you're faced with a life-limiting diagnosis or the mental fatigue of caregiving, I want to help you and your loved ones as they navigate the journey of life through art and self-care.

I do this by providing in-person care as a Private PSW, palliative and hospice support as an End of Life Doula, as well as sharing guidance, support, resources, and information to alleviate the fear and isolation often felt at these times. Some services are also offered virtually. Reiki sessions are available for stress reduction and relaxation. Some services are also offered virtually. 

For caregivers, I give them a place to lean in, feel support and compassion, and provide creative tools to help alleviate their isolation and caregiver burnout.

I bring a creative flair to Advance Care Planning, where we take a fun approach to compile your plans and document your comfort and care wishes. This approach allows your unique personality to shine through, as we listen, create and document care strategies that will reduce anxiety and stress.

Plan More.  Stress Less.

We all die. Let's confront the fear, take control, express our wishes and enjoy the ride.

 End-of-Life Care Doula & Hypnotherapist / Memoir Coach

Hypnotic coaching/hypnotherapy for issues and concerns relating to serious illness or the end of life, including forgiveness and the release of unresolved emotions.

Support is available for the dying individual, caregivers (informal, family, and friends), and anyone connected to the end-of-life journey, including end-of-life practitioners (doulas, hospice workers, PSWs, etc.),

Imagine the right combination of relaxation, meditation, visualization, hypnosis, and self-hypnosis, allowing you to feel greater inner peace. Serious Illness * End of Life: https://stepstonehypnosis.com/end-of-life-concerns

I also offer Grief Support Through Writing (Transform Grief into Healing Through Memoir Writing). Memoir writing for healing allows for cathartic expression, allowing the healing power of words to soothe your soul. Memoir writing also empowers your healing journey by reclaiming control over your story and paving the way for personal growth.

Loss, Grief, and Bereavement: https://stepstonehypnosis.com/loss-grief-bereavement

I work 1:1 on a client's solely-authored memoir (or book) or as a chapter to include in one of my multi-authored books. On Amazon, you will find "Bold Spirit Caring for the Dying" and "Tender Truths Caring for the Dying," both multi-authored. I have three more titles for the series.

I am also passionate about empowering end-of-life practitioners to share their wisdom on end-of-life topics and the invaluable role of death doulas, using my publishing expertise to amplify voices and foster meaningful conversations on this significant yet often overlooked aspect of life.

No Story Lost is a company dedicated to preserving personal histories and cherished memories for future generations. From the moment the customer visits our website, they are guided through the process, each step of the way. A comprehensive FAQ page, web chat, and the option to arrange a call with a team member before purchasing all provide the customer with confidence and peace of mind.

What sets No Story Lost apart is the simplicity and efficiency of our approach. Customers can move from 'hello' to hardcover, in as little as 8 weeks. This makes it a great option for people where time is of the essence, such as someone who has recently been diagnosed with dementia or a palliative patient. A series of phone or video interviews can take place relatively quickly, according to the storyteller's schedule. Our interviewers and writers are flexible and able to accommodate different schedules and time zones.

In terms of the interview approach, questions are asked in a genuine and heartfelt manner. These questions delve into not only the triumphs and milestones but also gently go into the hardships and challenges that are a part of everyone's story.

No Story Lost's team of experienced interviewers brings out the emotions and feelings of the storyteller. The stories are written in the voice of the storyteller, ensuring that their loved ones can hear their voice as they're reading the memoir.

After the writers create the manuscript, the customer can provide edits, add pictures and descriptive elements, and any other feedback to ensure that the finished copy is exactly what they envisioned. No Story Lost has a Happy Tears Guarantee, where if you don't feel like you could cry happy tears while reading the book, we will work with you until you do or will refund your money.

The end result is a beautiful, custom coffee table book that is designed to preserve your cherished memories for future generations.
