As pandemics, wars and natural disasters tear at communities around the world,  those of us who carry the impulse of healing have had our hearts filled nearly to bursting with the enormity of the suffering, both physical and emotional, in our families and communities.

Developed for hospice and family care situations, the Compassionate Care Gift Set includes healing balms not only for those suffering from illness and approaching the threshold of death, but also support for those giving so selflessly to help, often beyond normal human limits.

The Compassionate Care Giver formula helps the caregiver to balance compassionate presence and giving with needed self-care and accessing sources of inner strength and vitality to avoid burnout. It fosters the ability to know when heroic measures are justified, and when it is time to accept and surrender to the sacred passage of death.

The Peace-Full Passage formula helps the person facing death, or any severe illness with terminal implications, to move beyond fear and be present to the sacred transition that is taking place. The difficulty of letting go of the familiar can be balanced by the feeling of being welcomed by the embrace of the spiritual world.

The Benediction Oil is a sacred anointing oil that eases the heart and opens the portals to the spiritual world for both caretaker and the one receiving care.

The gift set includes a beautiful booklet explaining the use of each of the formulas.
