"You matter because you are you and you matter until the end of your life. We will do all we can to not only help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die.”

- Dame Cicely Saunders

      While we know that life and death are kin, the knowledge that our life is limited due to illness is often met with a great deal of shock and deep fear. Exploring the unfolding of one’s life and moving through these shifting phases of grief can be met with grace, peace, and gratitude when intentional supports have been put into place. Together, let us create a beautiful atmosphere so you can slow down, be fully present and savor every moment with your loved one.

Together, we’ll work within four important Pillars of Care:

Communication:

We’ll discuss the physical, emotional, and mental changes you may experience in your loved one throughout the unfolding of their life including their final moments.

Together we’ll formulate a plan to organize all resources and supports for your loved one’s care, whether this is in-home, in hospice or at hospital.

We’ll discuss information, education & resources to support you, your family and/or loved one on the path of medical assistance in dying (MAiD) if requested.

Community:

We can create and connect you to community, including resource building, so that you are well supported.

We can create a plan that incorporates your family and friends so that they know how to best support you/your loved one at this time.

Care:

We’ll look at resources and tools that you can use to integrate self care and support as you walk alongside your loved one.

Together we will create an intentional comfort plan with your loved one that will incorporate what is most important to them physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

We will create a supportive atmosphere where we can hold space for your loved one in their final moments while being as present as possible.

Connection:

When walking difficult paths, we often have trouble expressing what we feel. Through different forms of creative expression, the creation of legacy projects and exploring the power of holding sacred space; we can help to move our emotions from our internal world to the external. This ultimately helps us to clarify our intentions, honor our experience, and create an anchor to return to in difficult times. Together we can remain connected to our loved ones and gently move from feeling stuck into a place of acceptance.
