BHELD
A comforting presence in dying and grief
About BHELD
Everyone has the right to die peacefully with dignity and surrounded by loved ones. Beverly Hills End of Life Doula takes the time to carefully plan with you as you go towards death. This event may be unexpected or it might be the termination to an illness which is no longer treatable. Whatever the case may be, there are unique considerations with those last moments and how you wish to spend them. BHELD will uplift and honor your wishes. Encouragement and support for family and friends to share and participate in the death process brings deeper meaning and comfort to everyone.
BHELD meets you where you are.
BHELD will never turn away.
BHELD in compassion.
