End of Life Planning
We meticulously plan every important milestone in life.
Those preparations are thorough.
End of life could be our biggest milestone yet.
Lets get this right.​
Why don't we plan?
We don't plan very well, because we don't talk.​ And we don't talk because we are fearful.
​
We are afraid to discuss potential loss because we worry about how others might react, and our own heartfelt distress at the very thought. ​​​
​Its time to talk
​
The time to talk is not in the moment of death.
​
​The time to talk is outside of that emotional intensity.
The best communication will come from the heart of a connected family, a friendship, when together - its open and deliberate.
Open planning helps us to remain connected during the moments that surround the passing of a loved one.
​It prepares us, preventing anguish over uncertainty about wishes and what to expect when you die. By having these meaningful discussions now, you can prevent worries and avoid potential conflict later on.
When serious illness makes it difficult to communicate, written instructions let your family know your wishes. Planning ahead takes the burden off challenging times. Documenting your directives give your family reassurance that difficult decisions align with your preferences.
With empathy and care, we will thoughtfully collaborate to develop your end of life plans.
