style=\"font-size: 21px;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\"> How We Die: Death midwife educates community about end-of-life choices<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be alone when you die. In Northfield, there are several death midwives who assist the dying client in their journey toward a peaceful ending.<\/p>\n<p>Barbara Krause is one of those professionals, often called death doula. She\u2019s a certified proficient death midwife based in Northfield. Her business, In the Thick of Things LLC, offers clients an umbrella of end-of-life care services which include emotional, spiritual, and practical support.<\/p>\n<p>As a trained death midwife, she helps those struggling with the end of life be able to reframe their pathway to death and live with ease until they succumb to death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough not medically trained, I am an energy healer and knowledgeable about end-of-life choices like Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED) and Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD),\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Krause estimates she\u2019s helped 20 people die. And, another 15 to 20 have already asked her if she\u2019ll be with them when their time to die comes.<\/p>\n<p><b>A calling<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Krause said she didn\u2019t choose to focus on loss, death, and dying, which she shortens to LDD work. Instead, a decade ago she received a sign from her higher power, calling her to the practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInitially, I wrote two, 500-word blogs a week for about a year. Later, I began leading Death Caf\u00e9s, developing Reemergence Workshops, volunteering in hospice, and authoring a three-book series,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>An author of three books, \u201cSacred Bonds: Seeking Light,\u201d \u201cGathering Light\u201d and \u201cBecoming Light,\u201d Krause said she loves this work, because she doesn\u2019t consider it as work at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a unique way to offer each person and family a meaningful, peaceful, and loving death experience,\u201d she said. \u201cGetting to know a client helps to personalize this sacred time and calm the person\u2019s spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Linda Reed admits that, before taking Krause\u2019s death and dying class, she \u201cwas not really comfortable around people dying.\u201d But the more she learned, the more intrigued she became with what those dying are going through.<\/p>\n<p>After her father had a stroke and needed a pacemaker, Reed said Krause accompanied her to the hospital to calm him down and slow his heart rate enough for the surgery. Years later, when Reed\u2019s mother had a brain bleed, and it was time to unplug her from life support, she said Krause helped her understand that her mother refused to die until she was reassured her husband would be well taken care of.<\/p>\n<p>To show her gratitude for helping her get through those personal experiences, Reed said she offered to take photos for Krause\u2019s three books. To understand what images might best illustrate the points in the books, Krause and Reed read each chapter out loud. The resulting photos include ponds, birds, stones, gardens, flowers, butterflies, trees and skies.<\/p>\n<p><b>Working with hospice<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Families have asked her to set sacred space \u2014 a ritual of comfort \u2014 for their loved one in hospice. This is independent from the management of most current hospice programs and services. Some hospices are beginning to consider doulas to enhance their staffing.<\/p>\n<p>Fees for her services vary, although most Minnesota doulas charge $35 an hour.<\/p>\n<p>For retired nurse Sue Needham, talking about death always made her uncomfortable. When her husband Mark went on dialysis a few years ago and was waiting for a kidney transplant, the Needham&#8217;s turned to Krause for healing, guidance and support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBarb communicated with all of our family members and was always present when he was dying,\u201d Needham said. \u201cShe helped him plan his own funeral.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Needham said that she wouldn\u2019t have known how to comfort someone who was dying without Krause\u2019s guidance. Mark, who died a year ago, and Sue became \u201cclose spiritual friends\u201d with Barb and her husband Paul.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe honored our relationship,\u201d explained Sue, who had met Mark when they were both teens at a drive-in theater in Edina; they were together for over 50 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he died, part of me was amputated,\u201d she said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know how to do things without him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Krause, Sue learned to sit vigil and give Mark permission to let go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe died in his own bed with me holding him,\u201d she said. \u201cShe helped make that time as peaceful as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Rituals and remembrances<\/b><\/p>\n<p>With Krause\u2019s help, Mae Clayton said that she was able to come to terms with her wife Patti Clayton-Brown\u2019s death. Before Patti died in 2020, the 5\u20191\u201d musher who kenneled 40 dogs, had dementia and suffered from falls and strokes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still in the grief process after losing seven people in five years,\u201d said Clayton. \u201cI became comfortable talking about fears and preferences regarding death after taking one of her classes. I totally believe in what Barbara\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another community member who believes in Krause\u2019s end-of-life healing energy is Jean Wakely. To ensure that her children would not be burdened by making decisions when her own death was imminent, Wakely added a paragraph to her Advance Directive suggesting her children use Krause as a spiritual assistant who can create a safe space to provide families comfort, presence and peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy daughter in particular appreciated my thinking ahead,\u201d said Wakely. \u201cKrause has a uniquely empathetic heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Krause said she works with families, with and without Advance Care Directives, to design an advocacy plan that manages a client\u2019s end-of-life transition with grace and respect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI serve as a liaison for challenging family or medical conversations, and death and dying information,\u201d she explained. \u201cI offer assistance with advance care directives, obituary writing, legacy letters and awareness of deathcare information and options, offer vigil support during the dying process, along with meaningful rituals, extend in-person and remote energy healing and design and lead celebratory and personalized end-of-life services\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Krause said families appreciate being updated about death education and having someone else in the room as a second set of eyes and ears and general support.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cLife is precious,\u201d she said. \u201cLive it fully.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>YOU MATTER TO ME<\/b> \u201cYou are part of a greater energy. You are not alone. You are safe. You are deeply loved.

I learned of other methods of burial, death, loss, and that change is growth. I loved the PowerPoint slides. It made the flow easy to follow. I love the way the class shifted to accommodate everyone. I will use the pre-work activities again to see my growth. It made me think. The program was so valuable for the emotional and evolving space I am in.

Those workshops really helped us to make some hard decisions and deeply explore our feelings. Mark signed the POLST (Physician-Written Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) and is now DNR\/DNI status. The work you did to create such a special avenue to verbalize, we are at peace.
