Death Support
You don’t have to do everything alone. I’m here to listen, help and be there for you as you face death.

Care for the Dying Person
The things that we need in our final days are not always the same as what we need at other times of our life. I am happy to meet with a dying person and their support team to help coordinate things such as:
Comfort care measures; legacy projects; creating a bedside vigil schedule; final messages or tasks that the dying person wants to do; end-of-life preparation
-
Care for the Caregiver
Caregiving is hard work even when it’s an act of love. You also deserve to receive care during this life-changing time. I enjoy serving caregivers through tasks focused on their wellness such as:
Setting up a meal or chore train to give you more time to rest or be with your person; crafting realistic and pleasurable self-care routines; helping process grief and final conversations
-
Care for the Community
Often when someone is dying, people want to show they care but either don’t know how or they are worried that they’ll “over-step” in some way. Inviting extended members of a community to help at the end-of-life can be an immense comfort for the dying person, caregivers and those they consider family. Collaborating with the dying person and caregivers, I can help expand the circle of care through things like:
Setting up a phone tree for when the death has occurred; source help from the community for things like child or pet care; tap people to run needed errands; create ways for folx in your life to share memories, encouragements and love
