End of Life Planning
Aging and end-of-life experiences are deeply personal, shaped by each person’s beliefs, life story, and perspectives on spirituality, care, and grief. Through thoughtful conversation and guidance, we can explore your questions and you can prepare with clarity, confidence, and support.
The experience of aging is unique to each person. Nearing and reaching the end of one’s life is too.
Considerations and questions about nearing the end-of-life may include:
Catherine's Story
Catherine is an 80-year-old widowed mother who was involved with the Anglican Church in her early 20s but has not practiced any religion since. Until three months ago, she was physically active, socially engaged, and cognitively sharp.
She then developed sudden, extreme fatigue and stomach pain. Now in hospital, she has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told she will likely die within three months.
Catherine has her legal affairs and advance care planning in order. As she faces the end of her life, she is reflecting on her experiences, revisiting questions of faith and trying to prepare for what lies ahead.
People face their death based on their life views, personal story, and so much more that is specific to each person. I will listen and offer information and guidance that helps with thought processes and preparation.
