When to Call a Doula
Halcyon accepts clients diagnosed with a terminal or life limiting illness. You may be undergoing curative treatment when we begin meeting with you. Unlike hospice, we do not require you to have a prognosis of six months or less nor do we require certification into our program. Our philosophy maintains that your end-of-life care begins when you are ready.
Choosing a Doula
The final journey of your life is as important as each phase through which you've already lived. But it can be confusing, chaotic, even frightening to navigate. You can expect to move through denial, anger bargaining, and depression, or some semblance of these stages of mind, in no particular order. This is key to processing and accepting the reality of your situation.*
