The Truth about Soul Sitting...
When you know what to do,
 
it transforms you from anxious to calm as you navigate the heartbreak
of transition and loss
.

Who is a Soul Sitter?

Wether you are a close loving relative or medical professional,
the compassionate space created with your dying loved one qualifies
you to be a Soul Sitter. Below are two general categories:

  • The Individual 

    A Soul Sitter is a caring individual who provides comfort or service to someone nearing their end-of-life transition. This may include being present for their final breath. This list of people include:

    family members, close friends and neighbors.  

  • The Team

    A team of medical professionals who are part of a the journey
    of a patient's final transition. These people may include:

    doctors, nurses, in-home caregivers, social workers, therapists, hospice volunteers and clergy.

CREATED FOR MORE THAN HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS

Who is Soul Sitters for?

Originally designed as emotional support training for hospitals, caregivers and hospices ,
this training was provided to help the families in the final stages of their dying loved one.
Now family members, friends, neighbors and colleagues can all benefit from using the Soul Sitter tools.
But most times, people fall into vulnerable categories they are too fearful to admit.

  • The Uneasy Visitor

    For those not knowing how to act when they visit and their frail loved ones, Soul Sitters help people become emotionally prepared to see loved ones in their final stages.

  • The Speechless

    Soul Sitters helps alleviate emotionally overwhelm by providing support tools to put feelings into words so you can have that soul connected conversation.

  • The One In Denial

    For those who don't want to face this final time at all, we help create a safe space to face the inevitable with more peace and calm.

     

  • The Contrite

    Sometimes a loved one's terminal illness comes at an inconvenient time when guilt engulfs our efforts to visit.  We help make your moments together meaningful.

...shows us how to say farewell in a deeply connected, heart-filled, sacred, loving way

"At a time of passing when most people feel inept and awkward about to how to be appropriate to their departing beloved, your work shows exactly how to see into the entire journey as sacred and the exact steps to take to satisfy each one's soul. Soul Sitters helps to lessen the anticipated dread and fear of losing a loved one. And it shows us how to say farewell in a deeply connected, heart-filled, sacred, loving way -
as well as how to continue the relationship in a new and perhaps equally
meaningful way from the other side. "
