Madeleine Domingue

At the age of 22, Madeleine witnessed a suicide of a stranger by gunshot. She stayed with him until he died, holding his hand. As you can imagine, it was life changing. After losing both her parents in the span of a year and a half, it was hard for her not to notice the sincere lack of death care in the system. She promptly, (and naively) became a PSW thinking she could change things from that angle. Getting frustrated, she went to ITM graduating from the Contemplative End of Life Care program, was asked to join the Dying Well Collective, hosted and participated in a considerable number of death cafes, trained and volunteered at Kensington Hospice, got certificates Grief Literacy with Being Here, Human and was a co-founder of the Ontario Death Cohort. Madeleine's work as a Certified Dementia Care Provider has been blended with her end-of-life care to provide compassion and education. It has been an honour for her to serve the many families she has and be part of this ever growing, whispering deathcare movement.
