CAREDOULA GRIEF COMPANION

Our CareDoula Companions are standing by for ​weekly private sessions.
Deep Listening | Care Sessions
​Our CareDoula® Grief Companions are here to support you as you move through your grief, providing deep listening and loving support through weekly telephone calls. 
CareDoula® Support:
  • Weekly telephone sessions with a CareDoula Companion who is trained to deeply listen and be available to you as you process what is happening in your world.
  • We are not here to give advice but to respectfully and intentionally listen and help provide resources when you ask. 
  • We understand you are not seeking answers as much as you are seeking understanding and a witness and respectful and kind consideration.
  • Each session time period is 3 months. You may renew. 
What You Receive:
  • Grounding. Our CareDoula Companions will be a grounding support, something you can count on every week as you deal with your changing environment. 
  • Peace of mind. Knowing you are not alone trying to manage so much.  You know you have at least one person to speak with anonymously.
  • A witness. Research has shown that most people wish loved ones would just let them talk, let them be and not try to "fix" them. You know your Companion understands the dignity in not trying to rescue you from your feelings.
  • Understanding. No one ever totally understands completely how you feel, our CareDoulas know this and listen and being in a way that you feel heard and understood. 
  • Objectivity. Our CareDoulas are not invested in the dynamics of your situation so they are able to be a calming presence, offering a different perspective at times if asked.
  • A Partner. Our CareDoulas are here for you however you want and need them to the best of our ability.
CareDoula® Companion Details

  • Acceptance into our CareDoula Grief Companion program is based on availability of a CareDoula Companion. You may be placed on a waiting list if we do not have someone available now.
  • This is not an emergency service. This is not a medical service. This is not an advice service. This does not take the place of your healthcare team or clergy, therapists, or anyone licensed to and skilled to provide expert assistance to you. We are a service of deep listening and loving attention.
  • The private session with your CareDoula is to provide loving attention and deep listening and not ever to give medical advice. Instead, it is to provide emotional support and help you find resources (if needed) and to be there as you plan your next steps.
  • Your CareDoula is there to supportively listen.
  • Space is limited. Priority will be given to people with highest need.
  • Each phone call is one hour or less, planned at one week intervals or less (your choice) with your Intern, based on your mutual availability.
