Grief and Dying are not Separate Things. They are Connected Transformations.
End-of-life and grief support for the dying, the grieving, and the people trying to do both at once.
Dying changes a person. Grieving changes a person. I don’t believe they’re two separate events. I believe they’re one long transformation, and that something real can be made of it, if it’s tended to rather than rushed or buried.
I offer non-medical support through both: presence at the bedside, and presence long after, grounded in honesty rather than doctrine or dogma.
How I Can Help
Grief Support: Ongoing support after loss, for as long as you decide the grieving process should take.
Anticipatory Grief Support: For the grief that begins before the death, whether you’re standing at the bedside or lying in the bed.
Companion and Vigil Care: Steady presence throughout the dying process, while the transformation is underway.

Some may tell you that it’s time to move on. The truth is: grief was never meant to be something to move on from. It’s something you carry forward, and it changes shape and form, as do you.
