Services Offered
Compassionate Companionship
A serious illness or end-of-life diagnosis can often feel isolating. I provide one-on-one visits focused on connection, conversation, and meaningful engagement. Whether sharing stories, looking through photographs, listening to music, reading aloud, or simply spending quiet time together, these visits are tailored to the individual's needs and interests.
Legacy Projects & Memory Preservation
Every life holds a unique story. I help individuals create meaningful keepsakes and personal projects that preserve memories, values, and life experiences for future generations.
Legacy projects may include:
• Letters to family and friends
• Recorded life stories and reflections
• Ethical wills
• Memory books and scrapbooks
• Photo collections
• Audio or video messages
• Family history documentation
• Legacy jewelry
These treasured mementos can provide comfort, connection, and a lasting reminder of a loved one's life and legacy.
Vigils
The final days and hours of life can be an emotional time for both individuals and their loved ones. I offer bedside support during active dying, helping create a calm and peaceful environment. This may include sitting vigil, reading meaningful passages, playing music, offering reassurance, or simply ensuring that no one spends this time alone.
Advance Care Planning Support
While I do not provide legal or medical advice, I can help individuals organize and communicate their wishes regarding future care and end-of-life preferences.
This may include:
• Advance Healthcare Directives
• Healthcare preferences
• Personal values and goals of care
• End-of-life wishes
• Questions to discuss with healthcare providers and family members
My role is to help individuals feel prepared, informed, and confident when discussing these important decisions.
Respite Care for Family Caregivers
Caring for a loved one can be physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding. Short-term companionship visits allow family caregivers time to rest, attend appointments, run errands, or simply recharge while knowing their loved one is receiving attentive support.
Family Support and Guidance
Serious illness impacts more than the individual—it affects the entire family. I offer a listening ear, emotional support, and guidance for loved ones navigating uncertainty, anticipatory grief, caregiving responsibilities, and difficult conversations. My goal is to help families feel supported, informed, and less alone throughout the journey.
