Advance care planning involves providing assistance with advance directives, power of attorney, living will, and selection of a healthcare proxy who will carry out your wishes should you become unable to speak for yourself.
Life review is a natural part of aging and the dying process. During this process, people revisit key times, people, events, and choices of a lifetime in an attempt to assign meaning, reconcile ambivalence, forgive others, forgive ourselves, and receive forgiveness. Life review presents an opportunity, a means of achieving a deeper understanding of ourselves and a path to reconciliation.
Legacy may be understood as a way for the dying to write the ending of their story. Projects may include memory books, letters, life scrolls, videos, audio recordings, quilts, paintings or collages, songs or poems, crafts or collections of recipes.
Grief is universal, natural, and healthy. There is no time frame. We don't just "get over it". With the right support we can adjust, incorporate, re-form and grow. An end-of-lfe doula can help and also make referrals if professional help is needed.
I serve as an advocate by helping communicate and coordinate the variety of community resources to best meet your needs. I collaborate with palliative and hospice care teams to ensure needs are being met.
Planning a vigil or making funeral arrangments for yourself or if you are caring for a family member or friend needs to be done ahead of time. Planning ahead says "this is real" and can help avoid confusion and added stress when all the emotions and heart feelings surface.
Experiencing serious illness can be very stressful for patients and families. I offer stress management strategies and interventions such as meditations and energy healing work (Reiki or Healing Touch techniques).
