This talk is for anyone who wants to understand what it means to be with someone as they die. It offers practical guidance on how to show up with care, calm, and respect during a time that can feel overwhelming or unfamiliar, helping the dying person feel less alone and the companion feel more confident and grounded.
EOLRI is grounded in the woven experience of its members’ skills, training and expertise. United by our life interests and profound experiences, we share a heart-centered dedication to doing death better. Both spiritual and secular practitioners, we are a resource and comfort to those facing the end of life.
Our skills are based in traditional and non-traditional death care, legacy work, holistic practices, rituals and ceremony. Rooted in compassion and open-mindedness, we share a commitment to meet each person where they are, knowing that each life and death is unique.
