         THE THREE PHASES OF            COMPASSIONATE COMPANIONSHIP CARE

Cindie offers Compassionate Companionship Support to persons at the end of life and/or their loved ones throughout any or all phases of transition, beginning with terminal diagnosis to active dying, last breath and thereafter, including memorial and grief support. 

The offerings are available in three parts to meet different needs. Some prefer specific support for a limited time and others only learn about the services when they are further along in the process.

The ideal process is for Cindie to work with a patient and their loved ones starting with a terminal diagnosis all the way through last breath, memorial and grief, because a very strong bond of trust, knowing and support is built from the beginning that offers a unique strength, peace, validating witness and meaning to the on-going changes on the journey of life, death, grief and renewal.

The following section describes in more detail each phase of support that Cindie offers.

As death approaches, the unknown can be overwhelming and exhaustive at times. It can also be hard to accept that death is near. As an end-of-life guide, a death midwife can help you come to a place of acceptance and offer information about how the dying process might unfold. It’s important to know that care of someone at the end of life is not the same as taking care of someone who is going to be cured. Having a death midwife by your side throughout this journey can be an invaluable support, resource, and strength. Hence it’s ideal for a death midwife to visit the patient often to develop a solid, consistent and trusting rapport and connection with the patient and their loved ones.
