End of Life
End of Life Companion
Death is a difficult subject. It’s an inevitable part of life, yet we distance ourselves from it, until it’s unavoidable. No one knows exactly what happens when we pass, but it’s wise to settle what needs to be settled, before we move on. Sometimes resistance or fear of the unknown need to be released. Other times relationships are asking for attention. Perhaps you have awakened a hunger for spirituality and need an ally to flesh out important ideas or themes. Let’s sit, adjourn and contemplate together. Let’s join our souls for this sacred process and discover new things along the way. I open my heart to you and hope to create a safe container where you are free to be vulnerable in complete confidentiality.
