End of Life Care
Life review and legacy work
I engage in life review and legacy work with individuals and families by facilitating meaningful conversations that explore and celebrate their life stories, values, and accomplishments. Through guided discussions and reflective exercises, I help individuals articulate their personal histories and significant experiences, creating a lasting record that honors their journey. In addition, I assist in crafting ethical wills—documents that convey personal values, life lessons, and heartfelt messages to loved ones, beyond just material bequests. This helps individuals leave behind a legacy of wisdom and personal reflections. I also support families in documenting these narratives and integrating them into meaningful legacy projects, such as memory books or recorded interviews. By focusing on what matters most, I help create a rich, personal legacy that can be cherished by future generations, ensuring that their lives are remembered and their stories are preserved with dignity and respect.
Education about death process
I provide education about the dying process to help individuals and families understand what to expect, making it less daunting and more manageable. By explaining the typical stages and physical changes that occur, I aim to demystify the experience and reduce fear. This knowledge allows people to plan more effectively, make informed decisions about care, and address emotional and practical concerns ahead of time. My goal is to empower them with the information and confidence needed to navigate this sensitive time with clarity and peace of mind.
Vigil planning and sitting
I help create and coordinate a vigil plan for the final hours and days of someone's life by working closely with the individual and their loved ones to establish a meaningful and respectful environment. This includes arranging for the presence of family and friends, organizing rituals or ceremonies that align with their beliefs, and ensuring that their personal preferences and comfort are prioritized.
Dying and death rituals
I offer compassionate guidance on rituals and readings to honor and ease the dying process, creating a sacred and peaceful experience for both the dying individual and their loved ones. Additionally, I assist families with meaningful rituals for caring for their loved one’s body after death.
