I am her full time caregiver with her from Sisters Care Homehealth. She receives Holy Communion almost daily and we have used an end- of- life doula for 3 years. She is not Catholic but very compassionate and knowledgeable of the dying process. Recently because of mom’s finances I had to let this doula go. She was very helpful during a 3 month transition to a personal care home to give me a respite. Mom is now back in her own home with me and my nephew Adam.

I recently completed an end-of-life death doula training. It was secular in nature. Being Catholic, I would really like to approach this work from a spiritual standpoint. Do you know of any Catholic training courses that might assist me in this.
