In my work as a Death Doula, I’ve noticed that when someone is actively dying, there might be a reluctance to touch that person as if there is an underlying fear that this contact might be harmful to the dying person or that the person touching the dying person might “catch” death from contact alone.
Human beings need touch. Our brains function better with regular, loving contact. Knowing this, I offer my clients touch that conforms to their level of comfort.
Recently, I have had the chance to incorporate touch and guided visualizations to ease the pain and fear of the dying. In my observation, these are welcomed and appreciated.
