Our CareDoula® Companions are standing by for ​weekly private sessions.
​Our Grief Companions are here to support you as you move through your grief, providing deep listening and loving support through weekly calls. 

HOW WE 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.
  • Your sessions are weekly for 3 months (option to renew). 

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

  • Grounding - Our CareDoula® Companions will be a grounding support, something you can count on every week as you move through your changing environment. 
  • Peace of Mind - Knowing you are not alone in 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 can really understand completely how you feel; our Companions know this and listen in a way where you feel heard and understood. 
  • Objectivity - Our CareDoula®'s are not involved 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 CareDoula®'s are here for you however you want and need them, to the best of our ability.
CareDoula® Companion Details
  • This program is appropriate for people who are dealing with end of life and through bereavement.
  • This program is appropriate for anyone in the circle of someone who is dying: from the dying person, their family, or a person deeply affected by this who is not related by blood or marriage.
  • The sessions last for 3-month rounds of weekly sessions. You may renew if there is availability. 
  • Acceptance into our CareDoula® Grief Companion program is based on availability of a Companion. You may be placed on a waiting list if we do not have someone immediately available.
  • 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, therapist, or anyone licensed to and skilled to provide expert assistance to you. The private sessions with your CareDoula® are to provide loving attention and deep listening, not ever to give medical advice. Instead, it is to provide emotional support, 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 Companion, based on your mutual availability.
