End of Life Navigation

Be Prepared, Not Scared

The art of preparing for death
to provide comfort and ease through the transition of dying.

Plan for the experience you desire.

Nature cycles through life transitions every day, yet we all have a tendency to avoid contemplating our own death.  Open your heart and visit your fears. Talk with your loved ones. Trust me, it will only inspire you to live your best life now, guided by your values and wishes that define how you want to die.

Prepare for your last Journey

Create a system to navigate your last journey. Develop self care routines. Learn more about death and dying. Take care of things that are important to you. Explore how to create a circle of support for you and your caregivers. Be prepared, not scared

Be Present and Go with the Flow.

When your time comes to die, find peace in knowing that you have contemplated and planned for your last journey. Know that you and your loved ones will be surrounded by a circle of care during the dying process. Create rituals to hold space for emotions. Celebrate your life and those who love you.

  • “Valerie helped me explore my fears about dying. She guided me through a process that allowed me to explore death in a way that motivated me to live my best life now.”

  • "Valerie navigated the health care system to find the free extra help my mother needed to stay where she was living. Her focus was maintaining my mother's dignity while making sure she was safe, comfortable and cared for. Valerie's open and honest communications, with my whole family helped reduce a lot of our stress. We will be sure to contact RiversEnd to help plan Mom's Celebration of Life, when the time comes."

  • "I reached out to Valerie further along on my grief journey after the loss of two important people in my life.......who was I now without a spouse in my life? What would it look like? Valerie was able to help me gain insight into myself and work with my grief, my fear so that I could move forward with a sense of purpose and possibility, having tools in hand to utilize when I need them. I highly recommend Rivers End death doula services for anyone who is on a grief journey, whether it be the individual facing an end-of-life illness or family/friends who walk alongside that person on the pathway."
