Prepare for the end of life in this peer-facilitated group. While the topics will be weighty, the tone will be light-hearted and supportive. This is the gift I am giving myself and my family members - preparing for my dying and death. Over this past year, I’ve had many experiences with people’s loved ones during and after their death that became unbearable not only because of the losses and grief unfolding but by the lack of direction to honour last wishes.
There were times when the bureaucracy of death trampled a newly grieving person in the absence of clear guidance for the decedent. Too many times I heard: “I DON’T EVEN HAVE TIME TO GRIEVE”.
I will forever remember the heartache of a daughter who wanted to honour her mother’s wishes, but at the end without the legal paperwork in place, she was unable to do so. As a doula working at the end of life, my own lack of preparation has kept me awake. I have some bits in place, but other aspects aren’t formalized or organized. Scraps of paper are tucked in folders somewhere.
There is unfinished business.
So won’t you join me in getting the end organized?
This 3-part series will cover topics that range from clarifying your intentions and end-of-life philosophies to medical options at end of life, advance care planning, wills and estate planning, and having difficult conversations with loved ones. We will also discuss financial considerations for end-of-life, and after-death wishes.
There are so many options these days, let’s explore them together.
This will be a working group, meaning we will set goals for ourselves and each meeting time will serve as an accountability check on how we’re progressing toward the completion of our death binders. We will have an estate lawyer join us for a session, and who knows what other guests might drop by.
