Supporting Saskatchewan Families; Before, During & After a Death.
In Love and Service,
The Reality
According to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health, Regina and surrounding rural area currently hold 25 designated palliative and hospice beds combined. That is a total of 25 specialized placement beds for a population of approximately 260,000. Baby boomers at 60 yrs+ accounting for 46,000 of this total.
What options will these numbers leave the community for End of Life Care and specialized placement?
Our Story
In Loving Memory End of Life Doula & Nursing Services is a Saskatchewan-based end-of-life care
practice founded by Symara Petrowsky. The organization offers a unique combination of
professional nursing care and end-of-life doula support, helping individuals and families navigate
serious illness, dying, death, and grief with compassion, education, and dignity.
The practice specializes in providing holistic, person-centered support that addresses not only
physical care needs, but also the emotional, spiritual, practical, and educational aspects of the
end-of-life journey.
What distinguishes In Loving Memory is its integration of nursing expertise with the personalized
support traditionally offered by end-of-life doulas. This approach allows families to receive both
clinical knowledge and emotional guidance from a single provider, reducing confusion and
increasing confidence during one of life's most challenging transitions.
Care is delivered wherever the client calls
home during this time, including private residences, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and hospice settings.
Special attention is given to ensuring individuals feel heard, respected, and supported according to
their personal values and wishes.
Through education, advocacy, and compassionate care, In Loving Memory seeks to improve the
end-of-life experience for Saskatchewan families by providing full circle care before, during and after a death.
