Individual Services
Legacy Work
Legacy Work is the sacred art of creating things to be left behind to display the meaning, stories and values of a person’s life after they pass. These projects document the essence of who a person is, what they have accomplished, the lessons they have learned and the impacts you have made. We do so many different types of Legacy Work, but some examples are:
Artwork like paintings, drawings, pottery or other artistic works
Video or photo compilations INCLUDING END OF LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY
Memoirs, writings, poems or journaling
Planting in gardens, harvesting and drying flowers, making recipes or building or making things
End of Life Planning
End of Life Planning can mean so many different things for so many different people. Some of the services we offer:
POLST, Advance Directive and other vital documents
Discussing, documenting and sharing end-of-life wishes and goals of care
Creating calm, peaceful and supportive environments for the dying
Making practical checklists for the dying, their loved ones and their support systems
Organizing and facilitating postmortem services
Anticipating difficult decisions, family dynamics and heightened emotions and creating positive and nurturing support plans
Mortality Guidance
Mortality Guidance offers a supportive one on one approach to those struggling with their loved one’s or their own mortality. For some this looks like simple sessions where we explore their anticipated grief of a loss to come, for others this may be sessions dedicated to exploring their own life, meaning and purpose of death and their deeply rooted responses to loss and transition. Some things we explore through Mortality Guidance:
Anticipatory grief (the grief you feel before you lose someone)
Meaning, purpose and processing of death and dying
Life review and “completing the circle”
Processing using art, creativity and expression
Grief after the loss of a loved one, a pet or a chapter in your life
Guided visualizations before, during and after the dying process
Sitting vigil during someone’s final moments to aid in a peaceful, holistic and tranquil process
