End of Life Documents Consultation
Discuss, define and create a plan individually, or as a family, that will suit the needs of the end-of-life transition process. There are hospice options available to you and we can talk about your needs. We offer consultation and guidance you may need, dealing with “end-of-life” issues. Together we walk through the transition process and give you and your loved ones greater peace of mind.

End of Life Documents Consultation
Discuss and define individually the “end of life” documents that are needed for your specific situation. Documents such as Final Wishes, Funeral Pre-plan, Advance Directives, POLST forms (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment), Death care Directives and other paperwork you may want to have in order. All of this will aid in avoiding any miscommunications and help loved ones uphold the dying person’s wishes having the proper paperwork in place.
Getting to Know You
End of Life Documents Consultation
Creating a Sacred Space
Three 2 hour sessions in a place of your choosing…your private home, care facility, coffee shop, etc. Giving the opportunity to spend time with a dying person while they still have energy to talk, will help build a trusting relationship. This relationship allows me to better serve the family as a whole, during the dying person’s active dying phase.

Creating a Sacred Space
This can take the form of moving furniture and opening space for the dying. Giving way for building altars and space for sitting vigil. Allowing you to create a sacred space, using favorite objects, photos, draping fabrics, fresh flowers, offerings of foods, candles.
Vigil Planning
Creating a Sacred Space
In-Home Vigil Support
Discussing how they would like to arrange their “transition” space (with sights, sounds, smells, touch, etc.) and how they would either like to be engaged (or not engaged) by loved ones as they actively die. “Vigil Sitting” planning for whom to actively be engaging with the dying in their last moments. Having a set plan allows loved ones to rest, eat, and make final arrangements. Keeping open communications with health care professionals to be able alert loved ones when final moments appear to be taking place.
In-Home Vigil Support
Creating a Sacred Space
In-Home Vigil Support
Support with sitting vigil prior to, during, and after the “actively dying” stage. We will communicate as needed with family, doctors and other caretakers regarding weekly/daily/hourly progression of the dying. Helping with emotional and physical support were needed.
Developing a Legacy
In-home Senior Support Services
Developing a Legacy
Legacy Projects help families find answers to “How will I be remembered? Or Where did we come from?” questions. The creation of a Legacy Project, whether it is via Life Interview, scrapbook, or other items or events (such as document, film, artwork, etc.), serves to foster conversation between the dying and their loved ones. This allows loved ones to continue to share memorable moments with the deceased over time. It helps the dying know that they have left a lasting legacy of themselves, true to who they were, for their future generations to know.
