In the performance of Death Midwifery, we provide our Client(s) with attentions tailored to their individual needs.
Though not all inclusive, some of our ministrations consist of:
- Guidance through completing an Advanced Care Directive

- Short distance walks and/or wheelchair escorts if applicable
- Message Books/Legacy Books
- Read to clients and/or play audio books and plays.
- Conduct Vigil planning with our Client and/or their family members.
- Sit active Vigil when transitioning begins.
During In- Home Hospice Companionship, we become involved in our Clients’ life approximately 1.5 years (or less) prior to expected transition. In doing so, some of our functions consist of
- Allowing primary Caregivers to take much needed respite (The 3 hours as listed below does not apply when we are serving in a respite capacity)

Secondary ministrations:
- Assistance with pets (all pets)
- Minimal room-keeping (will ensure that client’s space is hygienic, organized, and managed)
- Clients receive three (3) hours of care per visit; however, we are flexible. Therefore, depending upon a Clients’ needs, these hours do not have to be consecutive, they can exceed the slated timeframe, and when circumstances dictate an immediate action, we avail ourselves to our client without hesitation, and for the duration of time that is required.
*Please Read: Although we are certified in standardized life saving measures, we are not medical practitioners. And, although we delight in willingly working in concert with our Clients’ Caregiving Team, we are a private, independent practitioner whose primary purpose is to facilitate a graceful and peaceful transition for our Client.
Additionally, due to the COVID 19 pandemic, per the request of our Client, and/or a family member, some of our ministrations are effectively handled through ZOOM conferences.
During these virtual conferences, our clients receive the same care, consideration, compassion, companionship, and time allotment, that they would receive with an in-person visit.
