End of Life Doula (Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts USA)

Mariana has worked in the helping professions with children, women in emotional distress, adults with developmental disabilities and elders since early adulthood. For a decade she’s provided home care services to elders and the disabled. Mariana provided many of the support services these people need to live fulfilling lives in their own home - often until their dying day. She believes we all need and deserve a kind companion to witness and usher in the process of dying. Mariana has two adult children. A life-long learner, she studied at The University of Massachusetts, Greenfield Community College and Stillpoint School of Massage Therapy. She is in the process of obtaining her certification as an End of Life Doula.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Walking my mom through her transition and holding her hand as she passed in my living room was the most exquisitely, beautifully painful thing I’ve ever done.

@sjfulton10 2 года назад

Yes…my mom passed a week ago. She passed at home in her bed with myself and my sister in law beside her. I slept the night beside her and held her hand all night and she passed in the morning. It wasn’t frightening as expected, but left us with a feeling of comfort, peace and sense of fulfilling the ultimate obligation to my mother.

As a Hospice Nurse I can assure you nobody dies alone, there loved ones who passed before them are there.

@bhajans37 6 месяцев назад

Mariana, you are beautiful. I don't usually leave comments but your compassion and authenticity pushed me to write "thank you".

I was born prematurely, I wasn't supposed to live. I had baptism before I was brought home. I've always been interested in death, spirituality, ghosts, tarot, past lives , etc. I see dying as the true great adventure. I've struggled lifelong with scuicidality and depression. I'm very sensitive. Highly. I joke with my Mother, God rushed me here and I've been resentful ever since. Always wanted to go back. There is more than we know in this world and I am secure in this knowledge. When the time comes, I won't be afraid. I hope to help others cross when I pass away. If that is possible. That's my dream job. When I am in Spirit, I want to help the others who are scared over there.

So thankful to find this video. End of life doulas and training are on the rise, thankfully. I really want to lean into this conversation with my family, but I'm concerned they'll just think I'm morbid. I just want to ensure I've got allies near me with clear maps in case I'm unable to express myself in those last years. I insist on dying at home, wherever that will be.

talking about death, reconnecting will heal us (we have to learn to reconnect with all things of life)

If anyone is interested in hearing more about the spiritual deathbed visitors that are mentioned here, I recommend looking up videos with Peter Fenwick. He's done a lot of talks about death and talks about the topic often

I was with Mom during her very last moments. I did guide her to go when she was ready to do so.

time to bring death back home

@iselchyresseisrael-megahan7864 3 года назад

I'd like to die surrounded by people who authentically care about me. I never had this in life so far. Sought it. Not sure how I can have it. Maybe I'll just have to get some dogs. Then I will be authentically cared for.

@iselchyresseisrael-megahan7864 3 года назад

In what ways was death a common part of life in the past? Is it only because people typically died at home, and so the body was there for some time? What other ways?

@milesmemory 2 года назад

In most cultures care of the dead is an ancient practice and it is seen as the duty of the family or community of the deceased to clean and prepare the body in the home, different cultures do this in different ways. There are even some cultures that will keep the body in the house for a longer period of time and continue to clean/dress it. Open pyre cremation is also popular around the world, which requires hands on care and is sometimes preformed ceremonially. As Mariana said in the talk death care has become medicalized recently, we think dead bodies are dirtier than they really are, that they become something foreign, because we aren’t actually allowed to spend any time with the dead because they’re being whisked away to the morgue.
