Care and Coaching Through Seasons of Change With Compassion, Presence, and Practical Support
A Gift For Your Loved Ones, Peace of Mind For Yourself
Thinking about death, talking about death, and having conversations with loved ones about death is not easy for most people. It can trigger anxious feelings and bring to the surface deep-seated fears.
Yet I believe with all my heart that thinking about and planning for the end of your life, regardless of your present health status, can actually be life-giving and healing for you and your loved ones.
There’s a popular Chinese proverb that says, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
Right now (because the reality is that tomorrow may be too late) whether you are healthy and fit, or struggling with chronic illness or disease, or facing a terminal illness, what is important to you as you consider the end of your life here on earth?
- Making decisions now that will help your loved ones speak on your behalf in the event that you are unable to speak or make important decisions for yourself?
- Communicating your desires and wishes formally by completing your health care proxy and living will?
- Gaining clarity on your values – what’s important to you both now, and at the end of your life?
- Communicating your values and meaningful life experiences with your loved ones?
- Working through the process of forgiveness?
- Creating a precious gift for your loved ones – a professionally produced audio recording of your words of love, encouragement, and affirmation.
Allow me to come alongside you and help you make your most important things your most important things. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. On the other side of the process, you will find peace of mind for yourself and for your loved ones. It is perhaps one of the greatest gifts you can give. In the process, you can expect to gain greater clarity on your purpose and values, and maybe some unexpected healing. In this way, planning for tomorrow will impact the way you live your life today.
