Where The Sacred Lives
A Room for Grief, Death & Sacred Thresholds
Welcome to Opaline Care
—This is Where the Sacred Lives—
Welcome to where death, love, and legacy are honored as sacred acts of life.
Here, we walk together — gently, bravely, with open hands and open hearts.
This is sacred ground. We enter gently.
Whether you or a loved one are nearing the end of life, navigating Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), or walking through the valley of grief —Opaline Care offers a guiding light.
As a heart-centered end-of-life doula in Sherwood Park, I walk alongside you with presence, intuitive wisdom, and energy healing—holding space for this sacred, soul-deep journey.
I believe the end of life is not just about closure
It’s about meaning. It’s about presence. It’s about connection.
Through Opaline Care, I offer a compassionate support for individuals and families facing death, MAiD, grief, and bereavement.
My services blend practical support and the profound—offering grounding support, emotional tending, and energetic care for the body and spirit.
Rooted in reverence for the unknown, I hold space for what is seen and unseen.
Whether you're planning for the future, tending to the present, or unraveling the past—this Room meets you with tenderness, clarity, and a deep honoring of your unique path.

What Lives Inside
The Sacred Room
Caregiver & Family Support
Caring for someone at the end of life is sacred—and often overwhelming.
Whether you're navigating MAiD, holding vigil, or quietly keeping it together for everyone else, you deserve support too.
✧ 1:1 Emotional Support to help you process, vent, or regroup
✧ Family Sessions to bring clarity and connection to collective care
✧ Presence at Memorials or Services to gently hold space so you can be fully present
You are not just supporting someone else.
You are also walking your own journey.
Let yourself be held, too.
End-of-Life Doula Support
Holding the Final Chapter with Care
Facing the end of life can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to walk it alone.
As a heart-centered end-of-life doula in Sherwood Park, I offer emotional, spiritual, and practical support to help you or your loved one transition with peace and dignity.
✧ Hourly Support — Planning, companionship, ceremony, and advocacy
✧ Vigil & Transition — Sacred presence, readings, rituals, and after-death care
✧ Shrouding & Body Care — Holistic, reverent tending of the body after death
✧ Sacred Space Creation — Calm, intentional space with meaningful elements
All offered with compassion, clarity, and deep respect—for the dying and their loved ones.
Love Leaves a Trace
When you’re gone, what do you want your people to know?
What do you hope they feel, return to, hold in their hands or hearts?
This offering is about creating connection that lives beyond death—messages, meaning, rituals, and memory.
✧ “After I’m Gone” – What do you want them to feel, know and hold?
✧ Love Language Rituals – Notes, gifts, objects or recordings seeped in love
✧ Story & Message Support – Gentle help capturing what you want to say
✧ Keepsakes & Rituals – Tangible touchpoints for grief, milestones & love
You don’t need a grand legacy. You just need something that says:
“I was here. I loved you. I still do.”
Love outlives the body. Let’s shape how it lingers.
Grief & Bereavement Support
Grief is not something to “fix” or “move on from.”
It is a profound expression of love—a journey of remembering, unraveling, and reimagining.
Whether you are grieving a person, an identity, or a life you thought you’d have, I offer compassionate support in Sherwood Park through conversation, ritual, and healing practices.
This is a space to feel, to rest, to be held.
✧ Individual Sessions – space to process, grounding, and be heard
✧ MAiD Grief Care – Gentle support before & after a loved one’s MAiD—held with tenderness, and no judgment
✧ Grief & Healing Circles – Guided gatherings to share, witness & be held
✧ Grief in the Garden – Seasonal, earth-rooted rituals for healing with the wild
You don’t have to grieve alone.
You don’t have to be “over it.”
You can meet your grief as a guest.
You can stay as long as you need.
Holistic Comfort & Energy Healing
Gentle, restorative support for your nervous system, spirit, and breath.
Whether you're grieving, preparing for transition, navigating cancer, or caregiving —this is sacred support for your whole being.
These sessions are available in-person or from a distance.
✧ Reiki Healing – to ease pain, soothe emotion and invite calm
✧ Relaxation Therapies – Aromatherapy & sound to ground, comfort and soften
✧ Mindfulness & Meditation – quiet fear, foster presence, support inner peace
This isn’t about fixing—it’s about resting.
Coming home to your body, even in uncertainty.
Feeling held, without needing to explain why.
“I’ve come to her more than once, completely distraught, trying to find my way through things I couldn’t see the end of. ”
Why Work With Me?
I created Opaline Care because death changed me.
Because I walked beside my father as he died.
Because I learned what it means to honor death with dignity, with presence, and with love.
This work is not separate from who I am.
It is the prayer I live.
Grief is not something to fix
Death is not a failure.
This Room honors love, loss, letting go,
and everything in between
Life isn’t a problem to be solved
It’s a journey of many doors.
You don’t have to walk it alone
Not Sure Where to Start? Let’s Talk. I’ll meet you Where you are.
You don’t have to have the words.
You don’t need a plan.
You just have to show up.
Sheri’s Place holds space for the tangled, the tired, and the holy mess of being human.
Come sit by the fire — I’ll meet you where you are.
Stay Close To The fire

A soul sanctuary for the wounded and the wild
— Offering end-of-life support, healing, and ceremony in rhythm
with life, death, and everything in between —
