Bereavement Doula Training: How you can help me achieve my Goals!

It's been laid on my heart that it is my path to become a Bereavement Doula, and to be trained as a grief counselor, and also take some photography courses.

Once I become certified, I can then offer my services, for free, to mom's who are facing the difficult task of laboring and birthing their child who is not going to come home.

Some of these moms, do not have a partner. They were going to be single moms, and now have to go through this process alone. Some have faithful partners, and some have rocky relationships. In all cases, dealing with a Stillbirth can be the hardest thing parents have to face. I want to ease that burden, and assist them in any way possible.

Obviously, none of these trainings are free, and there is a lot of equiptment I'm going to need in order to be the best resource to these moms as possible.

Tens Unit: $150

Rescue Remedy: $10
