1. Advanced Directives (virtual or in person)
No matter your age or physical condition, you shouldn’t avoid having an Advanced Directive in place. This document outlines how you want medical decisions to be made when you cannot speak for yourself. You decide, and appoint, the people you trust to carry out those choices ensuring family, friends, and healthcare professionals are clear on how you want to be cared for.
We will work together to complete your Advanced Directives and Durable Power of Attorney which will then be shared with your EOL team, ensuring that your pronouns, name and wishes are honored all the way through.
2. End of life/Funeral PLanning (virtual or in person)
Dealing with logistics and planning may be the last thing you have capacity to focus on. I get it and that is why I am here…to take on these things for you. I’ve been doing this work professionally and as a volunteer for over 18 years.
I will assist with things like completing DNR orders and healthcare power of attorney navigating, researching hospice option, funeral planning and cost comparisons. But it doesn’t stop there, if there are spritual rituals, alternative treatments or things on your bucket list you want to get done, lets discuss it all.
3. Comfort Care (Virtual & In person)
For anyone who is looking for support during those transitions in life that are too big to handle alone, I can help. If you or a loved one has had a medical situation that has altered quality of life and could now use help with managing care giving team, organizing friend visits, help with paperwork or even navigating doctor’s appointments. We can discuss your needs and how I can assist with overseeing all the moving parts.
4. döstädning (in person)
A Swedish word that translates to “death cleaning.” This can be the most rewarding and emotional cleaning you’ll do in your entire life. I personally love this process.
We can purge your living space together, creating an itemized list of personal effects to be distributed to loved ones either while you are living or after you are gone. Or I can assist with organizing your items for donations so that all of the extra things in your life find new homes with people who will cherish them just as you did.
5. Vigil Support (In PERSON)
Dying is an emotional, honorable and intimate process and sometimes the people sharing that dance with us with need a chance to catch their breath, unwind and recharge.
I’m available to provide caregivers a break during active dying and/or temporary relief while they are providing continuous support and care to loved ones.
