End-of-Life Planning
End-of-Life Planning focuses on getting all of your affairs in order so that you have peace of mind in case of a possible serious accident, terminal illness or death.
Advance Care Planning and Paperwork
We will review your life values, create a health care directive and assign health care agents that can speak on your behalf if you can't anymore.
Facilitate End-of-Life Family Discussions
Talking about choices and wishes with family and loved ones can be difficult and emotional. I will provide you with conversation guides and can be a facilitator.
Death Logistics
Let me assist you in organizing important information and documents, plan for dependents, pets, and possessions, consider funeral arrangements and burial options. Your loved ones will thank you.
Connect with Community Resources
There are many great local resources for additional needs you might have, e.g. financial planning. I can provide you with a resource list and information.
Death Doula Services
Death Doula Services provides you and your loved ones with emotional and logistical support that meet your unique needs during the final months, weeks, days and hours of life to death.
Life Review
Together we reflect, remember and capture moments and experiences of your life. These can be big milestones, weddings, births of children, celebrations and very often it is also the simple memories, the everyday moments that make up a lifetime of stories.
Legacy Projects
Would you like to create something that has a meaningful and lasting impact on the world, your loved ones or your immediate surroundings? A legacy can include contributions, accomplishments, words, items, values, or memories that will outlive you and likely be part of the story and memories told about you for years to come. Small or large, I can support you in finding what feels right for you.
Care Management
Often the tasks of arranging doctor visits and care schedules is complex and overwhelming. Having the right support structure can help tremendously. I can assist with the coordination of care and healthcare teams to ease the burden on you and your family.
Vigil Planning
A vigil plan captures intentions and wishes that will best foster your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being during the final days and hours. I can help you define the ideal space and surroundings that you desire for a peaceful transition.
Memorial Service and Funeral Planning
The logistical coordination for funeral arrangements, memorial service, celebration of life, and burial options can be hard to coordinate while grieving. A simple plan and expressing your thoughts about after death care will provide your loved ones with the opportunity to honor your final wishes.
