End-of-Life
Death Care & Spiritual Support
Death Doula, Pastoral & Soul Midwifery Services by Priestesses of the Ministry of the Eternal Rose
As a Ministry, we are beginning to humbly offer our support for those who are crossing the threshold and for their loved ones & circle of care. Reviving the ancient arts of the midwives & wise women, we are apprentices of the Great Mystery & the sacred Thresholds & cycles of Life, Death, & Birth. As death doulas & Ministers of the MER, we feel a calling to support those whose time has come to embrace the Great Surrender of death, to experience the full beauty, power, devastating grief, profound healing & precious closure Death can offer us, and do so in a way that sacralizes this profound rite of passage, and offers the person & process of dying deep honor & reverence, respecting & holding space for the complexity & full spectrum of emotion that can accompany this time.
We are also here to support those in the circle of care, with navigating the deep wells of grief that may arise during this time, along with the storm of other emotions, existential, relational & material challenges that may present themselves in these tender & potent transitional times.
We are here to be a loving witness to it all, to hold space, to offer gentle guidance, education, and spiritual & emotional support for the magnitude of this grand shift.
​
Our end-of-life care & spiritual support services can take many shapes and forms. ​

Peaceful Transitions
End-of-Life Pre-planning
End-of-Life (Pre-)Planning is an opportunity to ​explore your end-of-life options, desires, fears, contingency plans, medical directives, end-of-life preparation needs & document your wishes & intentions to help guide your loved ones when the time comes and emotions could run high or health could hinder that communication. We can assist with preparing an advanced directive to help guide medical professionals and family members in making decisions that align with the individual's wishes in the event health & decision-making capacities might wane. Especially helpful for those with neuro-degenerative &/or memory concerns. This process can offer you & your loved ones greater peace of mind and ease when the time comes, & offer a much smoother & aligned dying experience.
Includes:
- 2.5 hour in-person consultation & comprehensive end-of-life plan document.
