Navigating End of Life, Grief & Loss
Why talk about death?
Delving into our mortality and our connection to death is, paradoxically, a deeply meaningful journey in life. Breaking down the taboos surrounding end of life, death and grief and providing resources, can have a real impact on people’s lives.
What is a death doula?
Death doulas, or End-of-life doulas provide companionship, comfort, and guidance to people facing terminal illness or death. This holistic, non-medical support encompasses emotional, spiritual, and practical care.
Curious and witty spirit
I am curious, creative and deeply passionate about the world and the people around me. Da VanCi deathdoula is about keeping an open mind, growing, and sharing the knowledge and experience I’ve gained along the way.
Monthly death café in Jyväskylä
BITE THE DUST, Talking about death over a cuppa
Death Café in English.
In western societies, death and grief are often hidden and we don’t often talk about them. Yet it is so important to create community spaces where we can all openly share our experiences, feelings and knowledge about a subject that will one day affect us all. Let’s break the taboo and have a chat!
Free event hosted by Da VanCi deathdoula.
