Susan Capurso - CEOLD
Susan Capurso is an End of Life Doula, Legacy Creator, Course Creator, Consultant and Author of "Remember Me - The Story of My Life", "Before You Go" and "Coming Full Circle."
Many patients and families experience overwhelming fear and anxiety when dealing with end-of-life care. Susan Capurso, Long Island’s Certified End of Life Doula (CEOLD), has been a leader in educating patients, families, caregivers, and the public to experience end of life care as a journey that is a peaceful, graceful and loving experience.
Providing invaluable guidance and strength at a time of need in a family’s life, Susan shares tools, tips and ideas to help families understand and accept their journey and celebrate their life. By learning some of the tools and techniques, patients and families learn to understand the key components of a person’s timeline, which can lead to acceptance, comfort and peace during this most difficult time.
As Susan says, “To share an end-of-life experience with another is an honor and a privilege. Learning how to serve one another in this capacity is a blessing for each one of us.”
As a Doula, she supports and guides an individual and their family holistically, emotionally, practically and spiritually in their End of Life journey while specializing in leaving their stories and memories for generations to come. She does this for both End of Life Individuals and for people who are vibrant and healthy, enabling them to leave their stories and experiences in writing, video and audio, while the memories are clear and concise. After all, we are all the Ancestor's today. Learn more and read her full bio here
