Aging and End-of-Life Conversations
I provide a space for families to have purposeful conversations
and work together to make decisions and plans on aging and end-of-life matters.
PLANNING
The goal of Aging and End-of-Life planning is to help individuals and families create a documented path forward on what is important to them as they age.
I work with people to create a plan that:
-
Reflects who they are.
-
Incorporates what is essential in the various stages of aging, illness and dying.
-
Ensures critical documents are completed.
CRITICAL CONVERSATONS
Through mediation and coaching, I provide a space for family decision-making around aging and end-of-life.
Discussions include:
-
Family communication
-
Family members’ roles and responsibilities
-
Caregiver burnout
-
Residence decisions
-
Financial decisions
-
Health and safety decisions
-
Mobility decision
-
Medical decisions
-
End of Life decision-making
-
Planning and anticipating issues before crises develop
SUPPORT
Having an ill loved one or an aging parent, although rewarding, can be challenging and sometimes exhaustive. It can be a difficult balance between having to make critical decisions while trying to support their independence.
I work with people to provide:
-
Caregiver support
-
One-on-One coaching for siblings, parents, adult children, spouses and others involved.
-
Communication support
-
Conflict coaching
