Deborah Sprague

About Me:

I meet clients and their families wherever they are in their end-of-life journey, offering compassionate, individualized support as they plan and prepare for a meaningful death. My approach begins with listening—understanding each person’s values, wishes, and priorities so that their end-of-life experience reflects what matters most to them.

My work can take many forms, including researching hospice and care support teams, assisting with advance directives and other end-of-life planning, documenting life stories, creating legacy projects, and providing companionship and vigil support. I am particularly passionate about educating clients, families, and communities about the range of end-of-life choices available to them, including Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED), Medical Aid in Dying (MAID), natural burial, and personalized ceremonies and rituals.

What I want the Guild community to know about me:

I hope to contribute to and learn from a diverse community of end-of-life doulas. I value the opportunity to share knowledge, perspectives, and resources with others in this field while helping to build a stronger, more connected, and supportive doula community.
