What People Are Saying
“When a diagnosis puts you face to face with the end of your life, you go into a sort of shock. You need more than friends and family at that point; you need to connect with someone like Carolyn. You need to grieve with the guidance of a professional.
Indeed, I was already grieving the loss of a sister that year, sharpening my need to process a tumult of sadness, fright, anger, even panic attacks. I was fortunate to meet Carolyn at that juncture. Her quiet, warm and empathetic manner, her professionalism and life experience, even her book recommendations, allowed me to start navigating the difficult path between acceptance and denial, grief and courage, and to tackle issues that such an abrupt change of life brings to light.
She has given me strength, and is the one I want beside me if and when I opt for MAiD. In short, Carolyn is a rare person, a gift.”
— Pam W.“Carolyn is warm and kind and very easy to talk to. Her guidance helps me in many practical ways and in negotiating the emotional ups and downs of this difficult journey. I find our conversations change the way I look at the future!”
— Kelly M.
“Carolyn has offered compassionate support as I navigated the death of an intimate partner. In 1:1 counselling, she made space for my sexuality as well as my grief, which is not an easy combination to find.
It’s clear she brings skills from her professional experience as a mental health nurse, in addition to her compassion and hard-won personal experience of loss.
She is truly a guiding light for the families who work with her as an End of Life Doula.”
