Hi, I’m Terri Altschul and I'm Here to Support Your Caregiving Journey

Death is a Part of the Cyle of Life

Embracing a death-positive approach to end-of-life planning can promote greater acceptance of death as a natural part of life, encourage open communication, and support individuals in living fully until the end.

You become a guide and a healer by being immersed in many perspectives of experience and having your heart broken wide each time.

HANDS-ON SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST

Schedule a Caregiver Consultation

You may not know the timing of your loved one’s needs. You may not understand the many roles involved in your care team or how to find support for yourself and your loved one. I know you want this to go well and that you have other responsibilities in your life. This is emotional for you, your loved one, and your family members. I am honored to serve you through consulting, education, emotional support, and my deeply available presence. There are several topics that I can support you through your family caregiving.  Here are just a few. 

  • Navigating the Healthcare System
  • Emotional Support and Coping Strategies
  • Practical Caregiving Skills
  • Balancing Work and Caregiving
  • Self-Care Practices
  • Long-Distance Caregiving
  • Building Support Networks
  • Nutrition and Meal Planning
  • Caregiver Stress Management
  • Communication

Fifteen-minute consultations are $45.00.  At the end of our consultation, resources to support your inquiry will be sent to you.

For Clients Who Have Time

I know that you may not know the timing of your loved one’s needs. You may not understand the many roles involved in your care team or how to find support for yourself and your loved one. I know you want this to go well and that you have other responsibilities in your life. This is emotional for you, your loved one, and your family members. I am honored to serve you through companion care, education, emotional support, and my deeply available presence. The first thirty minute phone call is complimentary. At the end of this first call, we will agree on how to move forward.

Your Deathcare Need is Urgent

Sometimes, death is unpredictable, and we are rushed to make important decisions. At other times, we think we have months to prepare for the end of life, and then something suddenly changes, and we are in urgent death and dying spaces. My End-of-Life Doula Care is available for these conversations. If your death care is time-sensitive, you can call or text me at 302-373-1606. I will call you back as soon as possible between the hours of 10 am EST and 11 pm EST. The first thirty minute phone call is complimentary. Otherwise, you can schedule a call below. At the end of this first call, we will agree on how to move forward.

FAMILY CAREGIVER, CAREGIVER CONSULTANT & COACH

It seems I have been a Caregiver most of my life – from being a mommy’s helper to my three younger brothers while growing up to becoming the family matriarch (in responsibility, not age) in my 20s while raising three sons. In the last ten years, I have been the caregiver for my husband through his cancer journey and was the caregiver and shepherd for my mom, dad, and brother at the end of their lives. I know first-hand the ambiguities and weariness of being the go-to person in a world where we no longer have “a village of support” and the medical systems are so fragmented.

I am honored to serve you and your loved ones during these sacred life transitions. I can support you through difficult conversations, help you organize final wishes, and offer loving, nurturing tools for your body, mind, soul, and spirit.
