Story Tips
Customized End-of-Life Plans: Post a story about a creative, personalized end-of-life plan you helped a client create. For example, if you assisted in organizing a special gathering, incorporating meaningful rituals, or fulfilling a last wish, share the details (anonymously if needed). Use visuals to show any elements of the plan that were particularly memorable or unique.
Celebrating Small Victories: Post a story celebrating a small but meaningful victory, like a family finding closure or a client expressing gratitude in a heartfelt way. Highlight the journey and the impact of your support, using visuals like thank-you cards or celebratory symbols to mark the achievement.
Client Story Highlights: With permission, share anonymous but impactful stories or testimonials from clients who have experienced significant moments with your support. Use visuals and quotes to illustrate the transformation and positive outcomes they experienced. This shows the real impact of your work in a relatable way.
Behind-the-Scenes Rituals: Share a story about a unique ritual or practice you use in your work as a death doula. This could be a special way you help families create meaningful moments or a personal ritual you perform. Add a touch of personal reflection on why it’s significant to you and how it benefits your clients.
