That Good Night Death Doula and Grief Educator.
Available in person in Toronto and virtually everywhere else.
Here’s how I help
-
Monthly Grief Salon
A monthly online gathering to discuss all things regarding death, dying, and grief. Discussions will be facilitated with a focus on creating a safe space and sense of community where we can discuss the role grief plays in our lives.
-
Peer Bereavement Support
Learning together and teaching others about grief is where my passion lies. It’s time to move beyond The Five Stages of Grief and the myth of closure. I can help bring your grief knowledge into the 21st century and help you learn more about typical grief reactions, how society impacts our grief, how to live with grief, and more. My grief education is available in the form of 1:1 care, small workshops, and educational talks.

Ultimate Planning Package
Don’t leave your family in the dark when it comes to your end of life wishes and funeral plans. This package involves my custom questionnaire to help you get your affairs in order in regards to creating an advance care plan and funeral plan and three one-hour consultation sessions. Highly recommended for people seeking a simple way to get their sh*t together.
My goal is to empower people so that they know about their rights and options at the end of life.
You might be wondering what it means to be a death doula and grief educator. Much like a birthing doula, I provide emotional support and planning services to help people face the end of life. While my services do not replace traditional healthcare and hospice care, my goal is to assist in the spiritual and emotional elements of end of life, so as to provide a more holistic experience to the dying person. Instead of living in denial, I help clients to face death head on in a way that acknowledges the realities of dying. As a grief educator I am passionate about giving people real life knowledge about grief, how it affects our lives, and how we can learn to live with loss. My goal is to bust myths around death, dying, and bereavement so that people can be prepared to face loss.
Hi, my name is Kirthan and I’m a death doula and grief educator based in downtown Toronto.
Dying is a fact of life. Dying is the one experience that is universal and inevitable and yet we live in a society that is largely afraid to confront the realities of death and grief. I believe that by facing our mortality and learning about grief, we can come to appreciate life to the fullest extent. By embracing death, we are actually celebrating life.
“Grief changes shape but it never ends.”
—Keanu Reeves
