Virtual Care and Support - The Current Reality in End-of-Life Services
Like many other professions, we find ourselves adapting to providing our clients with virtual services via telephone and video calls. Although we cannot physically be present to hold a hand, offer a hug, or provide respite, there is a lot we can do virtually, from offering supportive, skilled expertise in doing life review, legacy work, vigil planning, companionship conversations, and offering suggestions to caregivers on self-care and to explain and normalize the death process. We can also assist after death with early grief processing and resources. We can also offer video calls and phone calls to support clients in assisted living or skilled nursing facilities if that is available.
Reach out to our end-of-life doulas and inquire how they might serve you or your loved ones during this time.
