You could be that occasional thinker who is just curious, or maybe you’d like to know how to be with someone who is dying in a way that brings a sense of calm and peace.
You might be someone who just found out that you have a life limiting illness yourself, and need some guidance on what to do now, how to approach your life, how to create a medical and personal support team, or how to create a funeral, memorial or celebration of life service.

I thank you for taking time to look through the site. I sincerely hope you walk away with something that eases your way with a sense of grace by your side. Feel free to contact me for any questions or concerns you may have.
