COMPASSIONATE SUPPORT FOR END OF LIFE

YOUR STORY IS STILL UNFOLDING

END OF LIFE COACHING IS FOR EVERYONE

Knowing death is an inevitable part of every life story makes it no less painful when it arrives for ourselves or those we love most. With professional support, we may meaningfully author our last chapters with clarity, love, peace, and growing trust for what comes next.

My coaching practice stands ready to provide professional guidance to individuals and their loved ones facing end of life head on. I also offer support to those who recognize life’s fragility and wish to prepare for it proactively.

My wonderful clients share a few common profiles. They are often:

- In need of support for themselves as they process, prioritize, and prepare for death
- Seeking support for themselves AND for their loved ones before, during, and/or following their death
- Seeking support for a dying loved one
- Needing support for themselves before, during, and/or following the passing of a loved one
- Wishing to explore, process, and release fear of death
- Wanting to develop an end of life plan in case of a sudden death or in advance of a diagnosis

Should your need be missing from the list above, I invite you to reach out. I will let you know if I am poised to assist, and if I am not, I will work to help you with a referral.

WE NEED MORE CARE THAN WE REALIZE

With a focus on emotional, spiritual, and highly practical support, I will meet you exactly where you are. Respecting your autonomy, we will identify your most important goals for the work ahead. We may spend time attending to your heart, to the needs of your loved ones, or getting down to the nitty gritty. No matter the direction, we will make valuable use of your time.

Depending on availability, I am honored to offer bedside vigil services.
Because many individuals do not want to be alone while they pass, bedside vigil services are often desired. When the dying process accelerates, such support can help the dying person and their caregivers maintain calm and security.
While together, I am a resource for what to expect during the dying process. I also provide caregivers with a well-needed opportunity to rest or to leave the bedside while they attend to life and care for themselves.
For those not confronting death actively, I provide both education and opportunities to process through fear of mortality, death, and dying.
I also help individuals to proactively develop an end of life plan to support them and their loved ones should they encounter sudden death or an unexpected aggressive diagnosis. I can work with individuals, couples, or families.
