A life that touches others, goes on forever. -Unknown

Many lives have touched my soul. They are lives that have inspired me and helped me through my own life. Some have helped with mere words, while others have been visions of love and service. Each one of these lives will continue to live through me and it’s my duty to preserve their memory. By showing others the love and lessons that I have been taught, I am able to do this.

The loss of my mother at the age of 12 was the most difficult and most confusing time of my life. What I learned from that loss, was that her physical presence was not necessary. She remained ever present for me, and the same for my grandmother who also had a hand in raising me.

They were present because they taught me and shown love. My mother’s words and those of my grandmother often replay in my mind while making decisions. Both of these women were loved and adored by many. They had a positive impact on so many lives. And after looking within for may years, it is time for me to show the love they gave by providing that loving service to others.

I previously studied and became a Certified Nurse’s Assistant. I knew this was the best decision I ever made. Serving others in this manner came naturally. I learned this is more than attending to physical needs. It is important for all people to be heard. I listened to every story. Each memory and lesson was unique. Most of all, they let me know how important it is to have guidance and direction at the end of life. Having that support and guidance made such a difference in their transition, not only for the individual, but for their loved ones as well. I found this guidance was what was needed as that 12 year old girl, and it has been the most rewarding experience to assist others with transition.

I am here to assist with Advanced Directives, Transitions for End of Life as a Certified End of Life Doula. I am also Certified in Elder Care. As a CEOLD, I am here to support each person through their own experience and be of service to the ones who love them.
