  Companionship for Dying   Practitioners - Margie McCallum

Dying can be a lonely journey. Just as a midwife accompanies us into life, a Companion for the Dying can join with us on our path into death.

It can be difficult to share concerns about death with family and friends. A Companion is there to listen deeply and without judgement to whatever we need to talk about. She can offer assistance with practicalities, unfinished business or loose ends that have not been sorted. This may involve emotional concerns, regrets or relationships that are in need of healing.

A Companion for the Dying will bring warmth and wisdom, patience and understanding. He will help the dying person to honour their special qualities and contribution to life. The Companion’s main purpose is to enable the dying person to pass over with dignity, serenity and simplicity.
