Advance care planning is important at any age
According to the US Department of Human Services changes in the health care system transfer supportive care services away from the hospitals to the community where love ones/caregivers now serve as primary caretakers in the home.
Comfort Homesake (CH) provides services to families, and training support to Caregivers:
- NODA - No One Dies Alone
- Advance Health Care Directive
- My Options - Healthcare & Cannabis for the Aging Adult
- Conversation Starter
We train volunteers to assist with our No One Dies Alone program. The program was created by a nurse who was deeply affected when one of her dying patients passed away with no one at his side. Her mission was to ensure that everyone has someone with them when they die, just as they did when they were born.

How do Your Emotions Affect Your Decisions?
You are not a safe place for that part of you carrying your pain!
Comfort Homesake (CH) offers support to Caregivers & End-of-Life Doulas through various pieces of training, here are just a few:
- Soul Journey Part l & Part ll
- Self Care Training
- Transcendental Beliefs
- COVID Reset Workshop
- The Hero's Journey
Many people who are Caregivers/Doulas have difficulty managing the stress, doubt, anxiety, and physical demands of giving care to another person. Caregivers report their own health has declined; most do not see a doctor because they put the patients' needs first.
These pieces of training currently happen via webinars or through our training modules which we are currently updating.
Stay Tuned.

As a Caregiver, it is important to be hopeful, optimistic, and compassionate. Harboring any unforgiveness blocks you from sharing your heart with others, making for unhealthy relationships in every area of your life. Our Soul Journey Webinar and Training Module teach you how to Anchor your heart, so you feel more secure and safe. It is important to feel so you can heal.
Since 2014 Comfort Homesake has placed a high priority on providing support across the continuum of caregiving, by helping caregivers care for themselves, and manage their own well-being. Our trainings and support group included services that help maintain the caregivers' health; spiritually, psychologically, and physically.

End-of-Life Doula or Caregiver...What's the Difference
CH Believes that Forgiveness Releases Compassion
Transcendental Beliefs
Transcendental belief is a conversation that explores spirituality and the human experience.
We take a look at how we create communities filled with patience, understanding, and respect. We acknowledge the possibility that our difficulties in understanding may have more to do with our history and training than with the particularities of the traditions themselves. We ask that you keep an open mind.
Transcendental Beliefs presents scholarship on a number of transcendent beliefs from around the world and explores the context of life overcoming death. If we knew we would live again, how would our current lives be different? If we believed material offerings are part of the life of the dead how would it change the way we grieve? Join our chat, contribute, and explore diverse end-of-life views in a supportive environment that allows people to speak openly about their values and beliefs. Healthcare providers will learn how to create space for listening and eventually witness the approach of transcendence through the vehicle of a patient’s own beliefs. These are some of the questions designed to take us out of our comfort zone and help us reimagine life after death.
