Planning Your Remaining Days
End of life planning can be especially difficult to think about, but can also be the greatest gift to yourself and your loved ones. Too many times, families are left with having to make tough decisions when a loved one passes away; often leading to stress, conflict, and confusion. Providing thoughtful decisions about your End-of-Life wishes, treatment, and care – while you are still able to make these decisions, prove to be critical; and ensures your wishes will be honored.
My goal as your End of Life Doula is to assist you with Honesty, Integrity, and Trust to ensure your End of Life wishes are honored
