As a Doula and End of Life Guide, I want to provide comfort and psychosocial support to caregivers and individuals who have chosen to die at home.   Some call it being a companion and walking alongside others on their final journey.  Hospice offers this to some extent through their volunteer programs.  However, when I served as a volunteer, the pairing process often felt random and limited.  I'd be given an assignment with very limited information and just show up usually to give a caregiver a break.  While I was happy to do this, I wanted a more meaningful connection and really wanted to know and be more helpful if I could

So, we came up with Honoring Spaces as a practical solution to help families who see the benefit in using our services.
