“Xowie was present in the last few days of my father’s life. She was such a comfort for my father, and myself, at the most difficult of times. She was respectful of all of his wishes and treated him with such care and warmth. She gave companionship whist I took a break, so I knew Dad wasn’t alone.
She gave guidance, reassurance, emotional support. She answered my questions with a great depth of knowledge, putting my mind at rest about what was to come.
Xowie was a true professional but with the kindest demeanour. I would recommend her without hesitation.”
“Xowie is kind, compassionate and in touch with people’s feelings. She’s a good listener, too and always seems to know what to do.
When my Mum passed away, Xowie was able to go the extra mile in areas that I was unable to. She assisted the care home staff with caring for Mum’s body and helped with the funeral arrangements.
I’ll always remember her help with the little touches, such as getting Mum’s favourite dress repaired so we could have Mum wear it. She liaised with the funeral directors and we asked her to walk with the hearse on the day of Mum’s funeral.”
“Xowie was my Doula in the days leading up to and during my father’s passing. We had previously discussed how we might give my father a ‘good death’ and between her warm personality and professional knowledge we managed to do just that.
She respected and upheld his wishes, ensured his dignity and proved herself to be an integral part of my father’s final journey. In what for me was a very difficult and emotionally-charged time, Xowie brought a quiet, calming empathy with just the right amount of respectful humour to my father’s bedside.
It was a huge relief to know that Xowie was with my father while I slept or took a break.
I would highly recommend Xowie; she was outstanding.”
“Recently, my dog had to be put to sleep and Xowie went in with him with the vet to keep him calm. She was also there to comfort us. She cares and she listens. In my opinion, Xowie is the best person to have around you in times of need.”
