I help you, through planning, to reclaim the days before and after death as a deeply personal and sacred time. Within a culture that denies death, and avoids at all turns even the consideration that it is inevitable, we are often caught short when it occurs. Lack of planning very often produces uneeded suffering, making decisions, coordinating events and finding funding all under time constraints, when all one's heart wants to do is grieve and find comfort in family and friends. A conversation about the events preceding and following death is not easy, but it is a way to embrace what is inevitable. It holds the possibility of extending love to those you care about - including yourself - in a significant way.
