Certified in Psychological First Aid

Deana Ruston, SBD is honoured to be walking this journey with you.
She is a Stillbirthday certified birth & bereavement doula.
She is working towards her Bachelors of Arts in Thanatology (grief & bereavement) at King’s University College, at The University of Western Ontario, and is hoping to graduate in the summer of 2015.
She has a keen interest in play therapy and working with children regarding the loss of their siblings. 
Although never experiencing the challenges of trying to conceive or of pregnancy and infant loss, drawing on her experiences from birth, being born at 25 weeks gestation, she believes she is called to this work and continues to let that experience guide her. She and her twin sister, have their own charity, Pennies For Preemies. It provides awareness of preterm birth and raises funds for the NICU at the Children’s Hospital in London, Ontario, Canada.

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES
«    5 of 16    »

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.

— Paulo Coelho

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.

— John Calvin
