Hello and welcome to the portal for the Gentle Dying Method which has been developed for use in a variety of care settings, as well as for families supporting a dying relative at home

The Gentle Dying Method  is very simple and very effective . It was developed by Felicity Warner who has sat with many people over the years who are dying and realised that we could be doing it a lot better. Gentle Dying offers  so much comfort by  using gentle and peaceful techniques that are  designed to calm,  re-assure and soothe

 Despite all the advances of modern medicine and technology human beings  respond to kindness and love and never more than when they are frightened, perhaps in pain and moving towards their final days

Gentle Dying can be learned by anyone in one  day. No medical or expensive specialist skills are required which is why it is so easily put in place , and easily  delivered  where ever it's used

Here are the main skills you'll learn

* Spiritual companionship

* Working with touch, music, story telling and visualisation

*Vigilling techniques that soothe and create dignity

* Recognizing  the stages of the dying process and learning how to support someone all the way through

If you would like one of our tutors to come along and teach you, or your staff the Gentle Dying  method, then please contact us asking for Felicity Warner or Lizzie Hornby at info@soulmidwives.co.uk

" we were able to diffuse a very difficult situation  between a resident and their family  by showing them how to sit and give Gentle Dying lessons to the family... it worked  brilliantly and the death was a very peaceful one and a good experience for those left behind"- Pam Jones- Devon care home proprietor
