Ineke Koedam (1963 -) has been a guide in death and bereavement for over 12 years and is a former Hospice Coordinator (2003-2008). Since 2003 she has her own practice for death and bereavement. Her extensive experience in caring for the dying and their families led to an increased range of training for caregivers in terminal care. Since 2010 Ineke has been connected to the Foundation STEM as a freelance trainer (Dutch equivalent for Dying Matters in the UK).
From 2009 to 2011 she carried out, on behalf of the eminent neuropsychiatrist Peter Fenwick, research on so-called ‘end-of-life experiences ‘.
She is the author of In the Light of Death, Experiences on the Threshold Between Life and Death, and A different view on Organ Donation. Explorations of the dying process. (Published in the Netherlands)
Ineke speaks and writes about dying, death and organ donation. She participates in the advisory board of the Dutch Foundation Reflection Organ Donation. She is a fellow of In Claritas.
