Presence with Purpose: End-of-Life Doula Services
About Me: Sandra L. Whiters
With over 26 years of experience as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and five years in the funeral home industry, I, Sandra L. Whiters, have dedicated my life to serving those in need of compassionate care. My journey has given me the privilege of supporting patients and families during some of the most delicate moments of their lives. I have cared for individuals of all ages, from infants to the elderly, providing comfort, guidance, and dignity in their final stages of life. My experience in nursing, combined with my work in the funeral industry, has uniquely prepared me to serve as a professional End-of-Life Doula.
About Presence with Purpose
‘Presence with Purpose’ is an End-of-Life Doula service dedicated to supporting individuals and their families through the journey of dying and bereavement. My mission is to provide intentional, compassionate care that honors each person’s unique story, ensuring their final days are filled with dignity, peace, and love.
The name ‘Presence with Purpose’ reflects my commitment to being fully present with clients in their final days, providing not only comfort but also meaningful guidance. It is a service driven by a purpose: to bring peace, understanding, and support during life’s most challenging transitions. My goal is to empower families and loved ones to navigate the complexities of the end-of-life process with grace and clarity.
What is an End-of-Life Doula?
An End-of-Life Doula, also known as a Death Doula, is a non-medical professional trained to provide emotional, spiritual, and practical support to individuals and their families as they approach the end of life. Unlike hospice care, which focuses on medical needs, an End-of-Life Doula focuses on the holistic aspects of dying. This includes providing a calming presence, facilitating difficult conversations, assisting with legacy projects, and helping to create a peaceful and meaningful atmosphere.
The role of an End-of-Life Doula is to offer comfort, reduce anxiety, and guide individuals and their loved ones through the process with compassion and empathy. Whether it’s sitting by the bedside, holding space for grief, or helping families navigate emotional and practical challenges, my goal is to bring peace and presence during this significant time.
