An epilogue is the final part of the story. It can tell you what happens after the adventure ends and the world carries on.

Figuring out how to plan for your end-of-life or how to endure beyond the death of a loved one is a lot to deal with, but you don’t have to go through big transitions alone.

Whatever transformation you are experiencing, I want to help you create your best ending.

Meeting you where you are.

My name is Annie Baucom, and I am a Death Doula and Grief Guide, offering companionship and guidance before, through, and beyond a loss.

Facing a diagnosis, death, or significant loss is never easy, but you don’t have to walk the path alone. I bring compassionate presence, knowledge, and emotional guidance to walk alongside you at every stage.

It’s important to have the right support during challenging times, so let’s get to know one another and see if I can be that person for you or your loved ones.

What can we accomplish together?

Death and Grief Education

Assistance exploring topics of interest, including what to expect, choices for care and autonomy at the end of life, body disposition options, the impact of grief on the mind and body, and more.
Emotional, Social, and Spiritual Support

Providing compassionate presence and companionship suited to the unique wants and needs of each person and loved ones. This can include anything from deep conversation and contemplation of mortality, to creative activities and light recreation, or respite for caregivers.
Life Review and Legacy Work

Together we can revisit your life story and develop a holistic view of things that made you who you are and made your life what it was. A life review can bring up gratitude and regret, accomplishments and unfinished business that we can use to focus our time and work together. Reviews can also inspire projects to be done individually or with loved ones to carry memories forward.
Getting Affairs in Order

Assisting with personal planning and communication with loved ones around a dying person’s final wishes. This may include help preparing documents, discussing quality of life considerations, or planning arrangements for home death care.
Vigil Planning and Support

Talking through and documenting a person’s desires for their final days and hours of transition. This can include creating a written vigil plan, bringing loved ones on board, setting up the space, coordinating the vigil during active dying, sitting bedside, and supporting loved ones immediately following the final breath.
Grief Support

Providing individual and group support for those who have experienced significant loss. Support can take the form of individual companionship and listening, facilitated family grief processing or rituals, groups for people with similar loss experiences, or curated workshops for active grief processing and metabolizing.
