Let’s talk about grief. I would love some thoughts or even questions to ponder for yourself on grief.

Do you think grief has a time line?
What does grief look like to you?
How did you feel you grieved? Are you still grieving?
How would you assist someone with grief?

For me personally I feel that there is no timeline. A smell, song, place, conversation can bring you back to the feeling of one who has passed. We often see grief as a negative, I like to think of it as someone shedding and peeling back layers of personal emotions and struggles however there soul let’s them. Grief also can be happy and a sense of relief. There is no “one box fits all” for this process of emotions.

How ever you feel and experience grief it is completely individual to that persons experience. There is no right or wrong.

If you know someone who is grieving hold space with love and without judgement and allow them to move through all emotions 🦋

"When death is inevitable, the way of dying is important"

16/02/2024

Hello, all my beautiful souls! Today I am embarking on a new adventure; this has been in the works for quite some time. Some of you may know that I am a Nurse and a Reiki practitioner.

I am branching out as an end-of-life doula and combining my Reiki within this space as well. I am based in the Barossa Valley region of South Australia. Fortunately with technology these days I am accessible any where 🙂

What is an end-of-life doula, you ask? An End Of Life Doula is a NON - medical approach to someone's end of life. Doula means to "serve," and I am here to help anyone from diagnosis right through the end of life, as well as there family, friends and anyone in there special person's circle.

I feel it is so important to us to have a sense of choice and control in making decisions while we are physically and mentally capable. I believe that with planning and support, this can ease someone's mind, bringing peace to dying. Allowing family and friends to have the time they have left to focus on one another.

Why have we moved away from that sense of community thinking that the only way we can die in a clinical setting? For many years and dating back centuries, ceremony, family, respect, and spirituality were all important parts of dying. Many cultures and religions still practice this to this day.

Dying is part of the cycle of life; this is a time to celebrate and get comfortable with death and dying. It is so prevalent that this "Taboo" topic is spoken about. Life is to be honoured and celebrated.

Much Love to you all.
Stacey ###
