Companion
The end of life brings elements of the unknown that can be unsettling and confusing. It can create a sense of being alone even in the midst of friends and family. A friendly face and a good listener help you to put things in perspective.
It’s also not always possible for family members to be present when we need and want them. Let us help you with some of your desires for companionship and participation. We can provide the comfort of our attention and compassionate hearts. We’ll be there for:
- deep listening
- compassionate conversation
- life review / legacy projects
- vigil for the dying
Mediator
You may find it hard to talk to your loved ones about your finances, your health or other important matters. Allow us to understand your choices and help with difficult conversations with loved ones. We can also meditate on your behalf concerning bequests, services or assets.
Advocate
It’s your life and you should get to make the decisions you want. You deserve to be heard. We’ll help you to:

Advisor
The end of life brings with it many unique questions. Let us help you find answers that are right for you. We can provide advice about:
- a range of living arrangements and care options
- what legal documents you may need

Spiritual Support
We call it death, but perhaps it is a transition into a more spiritual realm. Allow us to honor your personal connection to the Divine. Together can create a sacred space and help you plan for what comes next. We can also explain alternatives for after-death rituals and services according to your wishes.
Your loved ones will appreciate the care with which you make plans for a memorial service or other arrangements.
Bereavement
The grieving process is different for every individual. Sometimes just knowing that someone is here to help you navigate through your loss can make all the difference. We can help you to:
- understand loss and grief
- move through the days after death
- find ways to honor your loved one and your own process of grieving
