- Holding Space is an intimate, observational documentary about preparing for death, told through the connection between a dying person and their end of life doula. Structured around a series of conversations, the film finds both poetry and unexpected humour in this most universal of experiences. By witnessing three people on the threshold between life and death, the film asks: if you knew you were dying, how would you prepare to let go?

I was there when my older sister took her last breath at 50. My other sister, her daughter, my cousin and all were all in the room stressing all day and 🪽Michele🪽couldn’t talk but she was stressed.. we all sat around her and just started reminiscing, laughing and crying.. she relaxed and knew we would be ok and one last breath. 🪽Michele Renee Metevia🪽🧡I have realized I have the gift of a death doula.
Oh my goodness, this just shows how much compassionate end of life care is so damn important. I can’t wait to finally get into this field and support people in this way.
I’m just starting my certification for EOL Doula and this was very beautiful to watch, No greater love than being of service!
Awesome!! I’ll be starting my training in Jan 2023.
Amazing !!! I begin training in October to volonteer at a local hospice society. I think Iam going to head the same route as both you ladies ..much respect and blessings!!
@@beccastyverhow did the training go??
Beautiful. I think a death doula may be an emerging career for people. It can be comforting to have a companion a dying person can talk to about death and their feelings. I know there are birth doula’s so why not death doula’s?
It’s something I’m looking into..
Such a beautiful gift it is to be there for someone who is about to pass on.
Death, it comes to all of us. May we all be blessed with such people to surround us when it does. ❤
Every person just wants to be recognized as an Individual. I exist! ❤️
Thanks so much lay for sharing your journey💗
Well gee…I could’ve watched a whole hour of this! So beautifully done. Rest In Peace & thank you for sharing your journey with us to those shown in this doc💗🕊
I felt the peace also. This was very well done.
The love throughout this film was palpable.
Thank you Jude
I feel the same. Yes, YES!
beautiful video … very moving ending.
After helping my mother at her end I didn't know there was a way to help people without being a medical professional or religious. I hope I can help more people.
Beautiful video! Thank you to those that shared their journey. ❤
Beautiful, such an important time of someone’s life. Thank you 💚
I am contemplating this as a career path. I volunteered in a Hospice center for a bit. I witnessed my dads passing f and it left me wishing for ‘more’ for everyone in his passing .. dealing with family members can be tense in these times .. I would love to help others in this meaningful way to be the one looking out for the greater good .. I found a free training - I’m going to explore it … see if it resonates.
Can you please share with me the free training you found?
I just started my certification and this is something that found me
What free training did you find
Im already a few seconds in and had to pause to tell you that I love this…as a fellow filmaker and caregt…your film is very thoughtful and well made

Absolutely soul touching and more deeply beautiful than I can describe in words💕🙏being a clairvoyant Empath and being able to see hearts and FEEL hearts I feel so drawn to this...💕🙏what a gift to be able to be here for the individual and the family💕💕
That’s how I see it. We come in. We go out. There is so much preparation for birth and celebration, why not for the going out also ♥️
What beautiful people
Thank you
I hate death.
It’s just so tragic and sad 😪💔
It's just part of life, and who knows what happens after death, I'm not religious but I would like to think that there is another place.
Thank you
