Thanatology is the science of death, dying, and grief. Thanatologists study the intricacies of the social, psychological, physical, and spiritual needs of those who are dying and the people who love them. Delaney offers educational presentations and materials for individuals and organizations on death, dying, and grief.
End-of-Life Doulas can provide emotional and spiritual care at the end of life. Death Doulas are able to bring comfort and calm to the process of dying by demystifying and normalizing death. There is currently no centralized oversight or certification for End-of-Life Doulas, which is part of the reason why Delaney sought to earn a Master of Science Degree in Thanatology to ensure the highest level of science-based knowledge about death, dying, and grief.
Grief is not a pathological disorder, but instead an inevitable human experience. Grief coaching is a for of nonclinical support that helps people navigate life after loss. It can include education, reflection, coping tools, self-care support, companionship, and guidance for adjusting to life after a death or other major loss. Delaney has earned a certificate of grief counseling through the American Institute of Health Care Professionals and offers grief coaching

Death in modern times has become a medical event to be feared and fought at all costs. An End of Life Doula understands that death is an unavoidable final transition for every living being. End-of-Life Doulas are trained to be calm, peaceful, and prepared to educate patients and their families about what to expect and how to still have choice, control, and dignity to allow for a sacred space to surround death.
