Compassionate Accompaniment

How does the compassionate companion make a difference in the lives of those traversing transitions of living and dying?

Compassionate accompaniment in life transition processes requires us to open ourselves to a deeper language beyond words, concepts and scripts. A genuine compassionate presence provides a refuge of containment and support that foments mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being, allowing us to face transition processes with easeful naturalness, resilience and receptivity.
