At Honour End of Life Care, we empower our clients to live well and to die well, through open communication, thoughtful planning, supportive resources and practical home help.
I'm Brandi Bailey, an End of Life Doula based in the Vancouver Lower Mainland. I am a privately-obtained member of your palliative care team who works for you, empowering you to live fully throughout your end of life journey. I work in the Tri-Cities communities of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, as well as surrounding areas within the Lower Mainland.
What is an End of Life Doula?
Just like Birth Doulas support women leading up to birth, End of Life Doulas support people and their families during the end of life period. An End of Life Doula is a non-medical person trained to care for someone physically, emotionally and spiritually at the end of life. End of Life Doulas work with clients to prepare advance care plans, end of life plans, and legacy projects. I also offer respite care for clients and help coordinate personal care and household maintenance support to make dying at home as easy as possible for our clients and their caregivers.
The benefits of End of Life Doula care include:
I work with clients at all ends of the illness spectrum, from those who have received a recent diagnosis through to families in crisis needing urgent support. For people who are early in their illness, I help build their support system and make a plan moving forward. I provide on-going counsel, and am a consistent presence as they navigate the medical system. As my clients approach end of life, I help them as well as their families manage their emotions during an often challenging time, and do all that we can to honour their wishes for this important time of life.
