WELCOME TO SOUL SITTERS

 

Are you waking up each morning with the same confusing question? "What next?"

Are you wondering what to say to your terminal loved one when you see them?

Are you confused by the process and what might happen at the hospital, at hospice, with doctors?

Do you ever feel like you are in the way instead of being of help?

Would you like to be able to set aside, at least temporarily, your overwhelming fear and pain to help your dying loved one?

 

I want to welcome you to Soul Sitters. This website is designed to be a comforting place that anyone can safely float into like a big hug from a best friend. My losses over the years have shown me how acutely alone we can feel in the midst of living loss. It is for that reason Soul Sitters came into being. Because I know you are in pain and deeply feeling the personal loss in front of you, perhaps you may be wondering how you are going to cope with it all. Seems overwhelming, doesn't it?

 

I don't have answers to those questions but what I do have is a simple protocol that will help you cope right now. Soul Sitters is designed to help you server your loved one in a positive and lasting way that will not only change their experience but will also change your intimate encounter with death forever. This website offers families and friends facing the loss of a loved one with quick, comforting and free resources when you need them most. I encourage you to explore Soul Sitters to discover the pieces that work for you. For your convenience, I have listed our most popular tools that you can into right away.

  • The S.T.E.P.S. are designed to help you simply and quickly equip yourself with compassionate confidence when seeing your dying loved one for the first time.  Learn the S.T.E.P.S. 

  • Positive Grief Method (PGM) – You will receive a memorable method to help establish a lifelong connection to your loved one before and after they have died.  Learn the PGM.

  • Evolution of Hope - Studies have found that a hopeful patient is more likely to experience good medical outcomes than a patient who has lost all hope. It is important to preserve this feature while balancing it against the reasonable expectation of success. Giving up hope of cure is not the same as giving up hope all together. Accepting the inevitability of death is not the same as giving up hope. One can still hope for love, comfort and solace in your final days.  Download the Soul Sitters Evolution of Hope for the Dying to assist your family in keeping hope alive.

  • Bedside Check List for the Soul Sitter: Questions to pose to your loved one.  You will have a practical checklist of questions to ask in service to your loved one.  Sometimes the loved one transitioning is resistant to planning their environment but if he/she is receptive and desires some specific things be in place, here is a checklist of personal wishes you can ask of them.  Prepare for the time where they may transition into the final coma and are unable to communicate.  Consider gathering your family together and reviewing the questions so you can be a supportive Soul Sitter.  Download the list 

Thank you again for discovering Soul Sitters. May you find a soul sitting story that resonates with you so you too can find the strength to support your loved one through this critical time. I promise to keep you informed with the newest tools and resources that may assist you on your soul sitting journey,

Awakening to the Call

“Yes, YOU are Qualified!”

 

Kathleen_Gage

Kathleen Gage is the “no-nonsense, common sense” speaker, author, product creation specialist and owner of the highly successful company, “Power Up for Profits.” Kathleen helps entrepreneurs make money online. Kathleen’s clients are driven by making a difference through their own unique voice. This is not to say that Kathleen doesn’t know struggle. At the age of 25 she was homeless without a college degree. With no direction, no focus, and no true purpose, she wondered if she’d ever find a use for her life. Following a spiritual awakening, she decided it was time to do something with her life and “come out of hiding.” This started an upward trajectory over 30 years ago leading to the creation of her first company, “Street Smarts Marketing” in 1994.

Gage’s mission is to help people understand that their business is merely a means to get their message out to the world. She teaches that it’s not just about what you do, but the reasons behind why you do it.”

But like most adult children experience as they enter mid-life, Kathleen became one of her mother’s primary caretakers during the last two years of her life. Although she lived 500 miles apart from her mother, she spent a great deal of time with her while she was in the hospital for extended stays. 

Kathleen’s soul sitting experience taught her that life will offer us many opportunities to serve on a very deep level, but none as transformational as caretaking a loved one. She states “When we answer the calling amazing experiences unfold in the most profound way.”
