End-of-Life Planning

Burnout

Struggling with grief and transitions, caregiver fatigue, chronic illness, end-of-life issues, job transitions or financial pressures can cause us to feel burnt out on a deep level. Mentally, physically, and spiritually, the feelings of overwhelm, exhaustion, and not feeling like you are enough can be too much sometimes. If you are experiencing the heaviness of any of these issues, I can help you find ways to make life much more manageable regaining your peace again.

caregiver fatigue

Caring for loved ones can be deeply rewarding, but also extremely stressful and difficult. As a caregiver, you become tired, feel overwhelmed, experience decision fatigue (from so many important things to decide), experience grief (for the way your lives used to be), anticipatory grief (thinking of sad times ahead), and may even feel angry or resentful at times, leading to a deep sense of guilt and shame. All of these feelings are natural and you have a right to feel what you feel. Sometimes, we just need a place to talk things through and delevop an action plan that includes self compassion. I have experienced all of these things, and enjoy supporting caregivers helping them remember and find ways to care for themselves on their journey.

chronic illness

Living with chronic illness can be a constant struggle, not only physically, but emotionally as well. You feel weak, unwell and sad because you can no longer do the things you used to be able to do and enjoy. You may feel guilty, or like you are a burden to your family. You may also be continually researching, seeking answers and attending appointments, while wondering just how you are going to pay for all of the things you need in order to rest and heal. These things pile up, are overwhelming at times, and can lead to a sense of hopelessness. I have been where you are, and would love to offer support to you during these tough times.

Grief and transition

Experiencing grief is something that happens to all of us and one of the things we dread the most. There are many ways and reasons we experience grief. The first step is realizing that grief is a life-long process. It's not something to "get over and move on from", but rather something we carry with us each day. Together, we will talk about what you are dealing with and you will find ways to turn your grief experience into a meaningful journey. Grief coaching provides a way for you to talk about your loss without the fear of answering unwelcome questions or hearing hurtful, or unsolicited advice. I have experienced deep grief, and truly enjoy working with and supporting others who have also had this experience.

end-of-life issues

Facing end-of-life issues is something we will all experience. While the unknown can be scary, we can learn more about it and make the transition more comfortable. There are so many things to consider, and options one has. Planning for the inevitable will assure your wishes are respected, you are as comfortable as possible, and your friends and family will be able to spend time with you, and in grief instead of stressing over so many decisions and trying to imagine what you would have wanted. Together, we will answer those hard questions and come up with an end-of-life plan that makes the most sense and is the most comfortable for you.

My Background

Having trained as a mental health counselor, having been a caregiver, and been responsible for end-of-life planning, I bring those experiances to my client. Through past work and personal experience in each of these areas, I realize that my special talents lie in helping people who are seeking help with burnout caused by chronic illness, grief and transitions, caregiver fatigue, and end-of-life issues.

My Approach

I believe that every individual has the potential to live a fulfilling and purposeful life, and the right to experience peace and dignity at the end of their life. My approach is centered around helping my clients cultivate self-awareness, identify their values and goals, and create actionable steps towards achieving them, even during the hardest of times.

My Services

I would love to support you with caregiver or end-of-life concerns including planning, organizing, decluttering and rehoming special items, discussions, legacy projects, vigils and memorial services. I would love to host a Death Cafe' for your circle. If there is anything additional you may need, please feel free to reach out.

What is the difference between coaching and counseling?

A grief coach provides support and guidance to individuals navigating the emotional and practical challenges of grief after a loss. Unlike grief counselors, who focus on processing past emotions, grief coaches help clients build a future-oriented life, set goals, and develop coping mechanisms for the present and future. They offer a safe space for clients to explore their feelings, identify healthy ways to grieve, and discover new strengths and resources.
