Peace through preparation.

Jacki serves as your end-of-life guide by assisting you with all aspects of preparing for your death.

Getting your affairs in order by completing Advance Directives is important and often a good place to start.

However, planning and preparation is a multi-layer process encompassing such important aspects as the exploration of fears around death and dying, completing a living life review, scripting last days wishes, and integrating sacredness at the end-of-life and after-death.

A 20-minute consultation is needed to gather information and answer general questions.

Advance Directives

Advance Directives is a legal document spelling out who your healthcare power of attorney (HCPA) is and what your wishes are regarding life-sustaining treatment. It is imperative that you complete them sooner rather than later.

Jacki will educate your in this process and assist you with completing the documents.

Even if you already have your Advance Directives, it is likely that they need updated, including a review of the decision-making process for HCPA selection.

The Living Life Review

In our last days more time is spent sleeping (or in an unconscious state) than awake. A powerful process is underway at this time. The soul is preparing for its separation from the body. A life review is at the center of the preparation. It can be a peaceful time or a restless, painful time.

Jacki offers a template and guides you through the life reivew process, before the end of life, to identify regrets, areas of reconciliation and forgiveness that can be addressed and processed sooner rather than later. Otherwise, they may impede your peace during your last days.

Last Days Wishes

Putting your wishes in writing for how your last days are spent is a gift you give to your loved ones- and yourself.

Who do you want around you? Where do you want to be? These and other questions are answered as part of the process, as outlined in Jacki's book, Attending to the End: A Good Death Guidebook.

Schedule your appointment with Jacki today, to help guide you through these decisions and develop a plan for communicating your wishes to love ones.

Making death a part of life means we change our relationship with death by looking at it, with eyes wide open. By doing so, we also open opportunities for forgiveness, reconciliation and letting go of our attachments during life and at the end of life.

The Sacred Leave-Taking Journey

All of us will die and while this is inescapable and thinking about it may feel overwhelming, denying it robs us of fully experiencing life. It also impacts our death.

The acceptance of our mortality influences not only our experience with death but also with life.

To live mindful of mortality doesn't mean we obsess over it.

When we live mindful of mortality, we live courageously, in a more conscious way. By nurturing our relationship with death we begin to prepare for it.

Jacki walks with you through the processes of deep reflection, life review, reconciliation and integration in this journey.
