End
of
Life (ELM)
is an umbrella organisation for all
non medical end of life care.
There are fundamental elements in a journey with a set destination which are mirrored in both birth and death. In birth there is a midwife to ease the passage into life. In passing there will be an End of Life Friend to ease the passage into death.
Under the auspices of the ELM Organisation, End of Life Friends is a network of individuals dedicated to working alongside medical professionals. They will ensure that those who need comfort and companionship at the end of their life’s journey and who do not have family or friends to accompany them, will not be alone in their final hours. From diagnosis of a life threatening illness to the final journey, an End of Life Friend will be available for all non medical needs, not as carers but as companions.

"I am the Area Manager for several of the Registered Care Homes that Judy
gave workshops to, in Caring for People with Dementia and Grief and Bereavement.
I have received very positive feed back from the participants that the training
was informative, interesting and relevant. Given the diversity of our employees
and under equal opportunities, full consideration was given to those for whom
English is not a first language. Handouts were prepared and distributed for staff
to use as a point of reference at a later date.
Judy was responsive and empathetic when we needed immediate support for
staff following the sudden demise of a service user and I would not hesitate
to recommend her as a trainer."
