Compassionate End of Life Guidance

Hello,

I’m glad you're here. My name is Sarah Gladstone and I’m a Death Doula, End of Life Planner,  and Grief Guide. I started Human Condition Death Care to help people through a universal experience that we are all too often unprepared for, death.

My mission is to empower, educate, and guide individuals and families through the dying process, helping them through feelings of grief, celebrate life, and embrace the natural cycle of dying with dignity and care. I am here to support individuals as they navigate this shared and sacred experience of the human condition. I work with folks of any age because “nobody’s promised tomorrow.”

If you are interested in my services, I invite you to schedule a 30-minute consultation to discuss your needs and questions.

What is a Death Doula?

Death Doulas, also called end of life doulas, are non-medical professionals who bring emotional, practical, and unbiased support and expertise to individuals and families who are planning for the final stages of life.

Death Doulas:

  • Bring invaluable knowledge about the dying process.

  • Provide comfort and compassion to the dying and their family members.

  • Foster open conversations about death and ensure an individual’s wishes and dignity are honored.

  • Complement the work of the family and other caregivers, including hospice providers.

Ultimately, we strive to help individuals live fully until the very last moment. 

How I can support your end of life goals:

We all deserve a peaceful end to this great adventure of life. As a trained Death Doula, End of Life Planner, and Grief Guide, I hope to help people live with intention and die with grace. Here’s how I can be of service to you:

  • Act as a sounding board as you process important decisions. 

  • Research options on your behalf.

  • Help you keep information organized.

  • Facilitate meaningful conversations between you and your loved ones.

  • Offer comfort in times of distress.

  • Explain what is happening in the active dying process.

You don’t have to do this alone. Planning ahead is a beautiful gift to yourself and your loved ones. Let’s work together so you can focus on what matters most to you and experience an end of life with dignity, peace, and comfort. Check out more details about my services here.
