End-of-Life Planning & Care Services

Compassionate, non-medical support for individuals and loved ones navigating end-of-life planning, active dying, grief, and difficult transitions.

End-of-life planning and care can feel overwhelming, emotional, and difficult to navigate alone. Many individuals and loved ones are unsure where to begin, what documents are needed, what decisions should be considered, or how to balance practical responsibilities while processing grief and uncertainty.

My role is to provide grounded, compassionate support while helping individuals and loved ones navigate these conversations, decisions, and responsibilities at their own pace. Whether planning ahead or facing an immediate transition, I believe in meeting people where they are with respect, advocacy, and care.

FLEXIBLE SUPPORT BASED ON INDIVIDUAL NEEDS

Every end-of-life journey is different, and support does not need to follow a single path. Some individuals and loved ones may seek comprehensive support throughout the end-of-life process, while others may only need assistance with planning, bedside support, memorial preparation, or navigating responsibilities after a loss.

Services can be tailored to individual needs, circumstances, and comfort levels. Support is available both remotely and in person depending on location and the type of care requested.

END-OF-LIFE PLANNING

I provide practical end-of-life planning support for individuals and loved ones preparing important documents, organizing wishes, and navigating difficult decisions before a crisis occurs.

Support may include gathering and organizing non-attorney-required documents, assisting with advance directives and living wills, identifying which forms require notarization, helping individuals document their wishes, researching end-of-life options, and providing guidance through planning conversations.

Planning support is available both remotely and in person.

SUPPORT AFTER A LOSS

The responsibilities that follow a loss can feel overwhelming, especially while individuals and loved ones are still processing grief and major life changes. I provide grounded support and practical guidance through many of the tasks and decisions that arise during this time.

Support may include meeting with funeral homes, helping plan memorials or celebrations of life, obituary guidance, assistance creating online memorials, researching honors or veteran resources, planning the dispersal of cremated remains, and helping loved ones navigate the many practical responsibilities left behind.

My role is to help reduce overwhelm, provide compassionate guidance, and create space for individuals and loved ones to focus on processing, remembrance, and meaningful connection.

INCLUSIVE & COMPASSIONATE CARE

I believe every individual deserves dignity, respect, advocacy, and compassionate care at the end of life. I welcome and support people of all backgrounds, identities, beliefs, family structures, and lived experiences.

End-of-life planning and care can feel especially vulnerable for LGBTQ+ individuals, disabled individuals, and others within marginalized communities navigating questions around identity, chosen family, medical advocacy, or personal wishes. My role is to provide grounded, nonjudgmental support that honors each person’s values, relationships, and right to be seen fully as themselves.

ACCESSIBILITY

Limited sliding scale options are available for LGBTQ+ individuals, disabled individuals, and others within vulnerable or underserved communities. If financial barriers are preventing access to support, I welcome open and respectful conversations about available options.
