Please keep all ours and many others family and friends in your most sympethetic prayers, positive thoughts and hope for strength and comfort for all of those humans trying to make it through today and over night in Florida. The winds are already unreal and it's not even over the top yet. Ive been in close contact with family and friends stuck in the eye. Please think positive about the homeless who may not have a place to go, or dont understand how much danger there are in. all the animals the poor animals, all humans in all situations. I Love you all. My heart is very heavy and if mine feels this way im very sure many others are feeling the same.

I bet some of you wonder what an end of life Doula is. Definitely someone who wears many hats.
Doula is a Greek word that means non-medical person that gives physical emotional and spiritual support to someone. An End of lifeDoula is a non-medical professional that provides holistic support for the dying and their loved ones before during and after death. We are trained in the various end of life stages as Doulas are able to assist with understanding the natural processes while providing comfort and support. An end of life Dula, also known as a death Doula, death midwife or end of life guide. End of life Doulas provide support and care for those last phases of life limiting illness. We recognize dying as part of the process of living and focuses on quality of life for individuals and their family and Caregivers. 
Do you wonder why we need end-of-life Doulas if we have hospice? Due to medical and reimbursement guidelines the hospice team has a very limited amount of time that they are able to be with the actual patient and family end of life is a 24/7 thing. The hospice team manages the medical care of the terminal patient. The hospice nurse is supposed to teach the loved ones how to do the care. These two factors are the main breakdown with the present hospice model. End of life Doulas are now an intricate part of the main medical care team. End of life doulas will be attending to the emotional psychological and spiritual aspects of dying and caregiving. We will be advocating for the patient and family. We will be providing additional support system to patients and families with no time, limitations or time restrictions and we’re serving as the eyes and ears of the hospice program. End of life Doulas benefits to the family is that we give you continuous guidance and support with no time restrictions we give you education on the Natural end of life process we give respite care allowing and encouraging needed rest of caregivers and family. We reinforced family training reviewing hospice care instructions. We give a compassionate presence through the Dying process, we give assistance with making memories, funeral arrangements, obituaries, and memorials, we also assist with locating bereavement resources. End of life, dual benefits to a terminal patient. We provide companionship and presence, emotional support and early intervention as we serve as the eyes and ears of hospice. We give an increased sense of autonomy, which is having you still make your own choices, better skills, and making family peace. Longer and more frequent visits as needed. We give assistance with making memories, funeral arrangements, obituaries, and memorials, holding space and helping family members which means to be fully present perform a life review validating your sense of purpose and setting a sacred space planning for smells, sounds, and gentle touch during your last days.

You know you’re in Spain when you’re driving through Spain and all you see is big bulls with big balls along the autovía (highways).
