Advance Planning

Grief and Going Forward

Compassionate Support

People agree that planning for the end of life is valuable, but few will take the time to do it. Having these conversations with BHELD will put your mind at ease. Planning well requires information and you will be presented with accurate information as well as local resources for services required for legal, financial and post-mortem choices.

Compassionate Support

Grief and Going Forward

Compassionate Support

End of Life doulas are trained for the particular circumstances of dying which people often don't understand. Acceptance of death through intimate conversations about unfinished business, searching for meaning through a process of life review or creating a lasting legacy representing a life well-lived can be inspiring as we face these issues together. Preparing a sacred space with memorable objects, music and other special items will enable the transition to unfold according to your wishes.

Grief and Going Forward


Learning to live without a loved one after a death is complicated and BHELD begins this transition with you. Honoring the dead in your own way with a nonjudgemental witness of your journey, will enable healing to begin.
