When We Speak of Death and Dying
Courses
Interactive 2 Day Courses
Explore, listen, learn and be encouraged.
This course will answer as well as raise questions. It will be practical as well as personal.
This is a course for anyone alive. To prepare and be prepared for the time when you need to care for a fellow human being in their dying Days, for when your time is upon you, for those of you who want to know more about the language we can use around those who are dying, or just because you have realised that there is more to life than LIFE only. Realised that death is part of the deal. That we lose loved ones, no matter what ther age – even before birth or just after, or in the very best part of their young lives. This course is for those who realise that life is never going to be ‘Fair’ .
You will walk away with a deeper understanding of yourself, knowledge and skills to truly step into the role of End-of-Life Care (Doula) , the tools to put what you learn into practice and a support network to fall back upon.
