Sarasota, FL - Sally Gabriel runs Epilogue End of Life Care, her company that provides end-of-life doula and grief coaching services.

In her radio show, Sally will explain what an end-of-life Doula does. While formalized programs to train death doulas began in the early 2000s, the practice goes back ages. Dying in the comfort of your own home, with the care and support of loved ones, is more traditional than our modern and impersonal practice of dying in hospitals and nursing homes. And, while most people have heard of birth doulas, who help to bring a life into this world, they may not have heard of death doulas, who attend people at the end of their lives.

While Sally is not a lawyer, she does make sure that people have certain legal documents prepared and filed, along with their advance directive. Sally offers 8 specific services that are outlined on her website. Working with clients is a custom process; not all families will utilize all of these diverse services

“It is important when people can no longer speak or make decisions with a clear mind that they have someone to make those decision for them. This person is called their ‘health care surrogate’ or their ‘medical power of attorney’.

Sally invites people to explore what it means to have support through grief and life’s final chapter  She advises that as you contemplate the end of your life, consider what it might be like to have a dedicated companion to guide you and your loved ones through the journey. Sally assures us that people’s wishes for a dignified and comfortable experience will be honored.
