WHY IT’S IMPORTANT

100 years ago, learning how to care for the dying was handed down from grandmother to grandchild. It is all but lost in our society today and is causing death to be 1000x more difficult for both the patient and their loved ones.

Learn The Skill

Change The World

One Million People Trained Campaign— a worldwide outreach where we will teach the Doulagivers Level 1 End of Life Doula Family Caregiver Training live online every month. Death is something that we all have in common no matter what culture, religion, or socioeconomic status. We believe that this education to support people to have the most positive end of life experience is a human right, not a privilege. We invite you to participate and share this training event with your family, friends, and community.

 

FACT: Nine out of ten people polled said they want to be kept at home at the end of life, yet half are dying in hospitals, nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.

 

FACT: Many people do not know how to care for someone at the end of life. This is a skill that 100 years ago was handed down generation to generation.

 

FACT: We need to teach families how to care for their loved ones once again now, before they ever need it.

Death is the number one fear in the world. - BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE.

 

Death is something that we all have in common no matter what culture, religion, or socioeconomic status. The vision is to increase the availability and access to high quality education and end of life care for patients and families throughout the world.

 

“Most families don’t know the first thing about how to care for their dying loved one-yet that is what we expect for them to do” –

Suzanne B. O’Brien RN

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

The FREE End of Life Doula Training Level 1 webinar was absolutely amazing. I love online studies and opportunities for personal growth and this course definitely has to be one of the very best I’ve had the chance to partake of to date. It is such important knowledge that I believe it should be included in every high school /university curriculum. Suzanne engages learners in a personable, compassionate and practical manner. She takes serious subjects and makes them empowering through providing knowledge and a skillset that anyone can employ for a more positive end of life experience either for themself or when caring for those they love. I am forever grateful for this course and cannot recommend it highly enough.”

I had no idea how useful our little training last month would become.  I just drove 600 miles with my 7 year old daughter to visit my sick grandmother over spring break.

In the 48 hours I was there, I helped her fill out a living will and health proxy.  I helped arrange a transfer for her from the hospital to hospice, I helped her friend and caretaker understand that “it’s ok” because it’s what she wants in her end of life journey and that is ok to be sad.  I was true to my grandmother and her wishes as family circumstances got dicey.  I brought incredible joy to my grandmother by being there, honoring her wishes and giving her time with her great grand daughter.  I gave my daughter the gift of understanding and honoring the end of life as a noble process.

And, I was able to, myself, be at peace, say goodbye and have no regrets.

The gift you have given me is absolutely priceless.  I couldn’t have done all that a month ago.

I am very tired, but will sleep very well tonight knowing that I am honoring my grandmother in her very important process to the end of her life here on earth.

thank you so very much.”
