End-of-Life Preparedness
Because dying is a first-time experience, we don't always know what questions to ask or what details we might be missing.
Many people find it helpful to prepare and plan for the end of their lives with an objective third party. This can range from the more technical (such as surveying medical and legal paperwork you may not know about) to the emotional (working through your life's meaning and arranging mementos to leave behind). All end-of-life preparedness activities are customized to a client's wants and needs, including:
Medical and legal paperwork checklists (POLST forms, advanced directives, wills, etc.)
Downsizing help
Formal vigil planning and establishing contingency plans
Life review and legacy projects
Funeral and memorial planning
Practicing guided visualizations for anxiety management
Identify anticipated needs and solutions to ensure quality of life
Family and client education around the dying process
