Working with a variety of professionals, such as hospice professionals or death doulas, can be comforting to both the individual who is dying and their family and friends. These compassionate individuals are trained to attend to the needs of individuals at the end of life, with the goal of bringing a sense of calm and peace to the dying process. Engaging one or more of these professionals to work with your family can help family members and friends say meaningful goodbyes and transition in a healthy way as they begin their grief journey.
