When thoughts of our mortality sneak up on us, we’re more likely to push them aside then let them in and see where they take us. Or we limit our imaginings to our final farewell because planning an event feels easier than what leads up to it. Imagine if we did the same for weddings or preparing to welcome a new baby into our lives?
I’d like to challenge you to think into your mortality, be curious about it and how it might unfold for you and for your people. I’ll give you a brave space to ask questions, explore options and learn how end-of-life in our world today can slip away from whatever hopes and imaginings we’ve had about it… If we don’t solidly plan for it and inform our people across our support spectrum, so our wishes are pragmatically actioned and honestly witnessed.
I will support you as you open your mind to identify, document, communicate and set your own intentions for your Life Care Plan – right now and into however your life continues to unfold. Our minds don’t know what our bodies will do – our health as we age, if we’ll face a chronic illness or serious diagnosis, how many years we’ll live this one, precious life. What we can do is talk about what those changes and challenges may look like and how we’d like to meet them. Through guided, empowering conversations about you – your expectations, wishes, feelings, relationships, thoughts, and imaginings – you will discover What Matters Most To You, and your vision of a Care Plan will be created.
Yes… these are conversations that create a platform for educated and informed end-of-life plans.
This may include:
- Exploring different iterations of what-if’s and scenarios within our current medical care environment
- Palliative and elder care options, advance care directives, a living will and other care planning options
- Any measure of spiritual and emotional life review that will serve to ease anxiety or resolve relationship roadblocks
- Advocating for you in ensuring your wishes are heard, acknowledged and honored when decisions are made
- Assistance or insight determining and planning your chosen Farewell
- Experiencing a sense of freedom from not “being prepared”, easing anticipatory anxiety and even imagining your own death with less fear and (maybe) more curiosity.
