Quietude® describes the inner calm and stillness
needed to be compassionately present
for someone as they are approaching death. 

It is the open hearted and listening presence we wish to have as we accompany a person at their end of life.  

Quietude® describes the peaceful inner space we may hold to support people
as they sit with their loved one in the labour of crossing Death’s Threshold. 

Quietude® is kindness itself.  It is the offering of soul food, laughter and loving companionship. 

“Quiet I bear within me. I have within me the forces to make me strong. Now I will be imbued with their glowing warmth…..to find within myself the source of inner strength, the source of inner Quiet”.  
– Rudolf Steiner

What is a Quietude® Practitioner?

A Quietude® practitioner holds the vision of the continuity of life and awareness, beyond the bounds of the physical body. 

A Quietude® Practitioner is another way of describing the work of a death doula, or a midwife of the soul, supporting someone letting go of their life on earth and being born into the spiritual world. 

A Quietude® Practitioner is one who can bless or pray with a person and/or their loved ones and support them with the work of letting go, forgiveness, and gratitude. 

A Quietude® Practitioner does not preach or proselytize but supports you to find and speak your own truth and lean into that which nourishes or comforts you. 

A Quietude® Practitioner also helps someone with a life limiting illness complete the practical tasks needed to prepare for dying, e.g. Making a Will, appointing Power of Attorney, creating Advanced Care Plans, writing letters of wishes and funeral plans.
