Palliative Companionship/End-of-Life Services

Die with Comfort. Die with Dignity. Die with a Friend.

Your primary care team may ask about your pain level… but how many ask you to share your favourite childhood memory?

My aim is to make you feel like you are more than a patient. With me, you are simply YOU. I put the “person” in person-centred care, and offer you quality, compassionate and dignified end-of-life care.

I will help you navigate your palliative journey - from diagnosis to death - by providing companionship, death planning, emotional support, and respite care. It is my promise to you to be there with you until the end. We can do this — together.

I offer in-person services within my service boundaries (service area can be found under Contact tab) OR virtual services, by phone or via Google Meets video chat. I aim to make my services as accessible as possible, regardless of location or situation.

Services can include any of the following:

Support from Time of Diagnosis

I provide support for those who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness. We can work together from the moment you are diagnosed. The longer we are together, the more I can get to know you and your wishes.

Death Planning

Death planning is what you want your death to look like. We will work together to build a death plan, and I will be your advocate in seeing it through.

Vigil Planning

We can discuss vigil options for before, during, or after death. I can talk you through what this could look like, while recognizing any specific cultural, religious and spiritual practices.

Legacy Projects

Legacy projects are what we leave behind for loved ones. Examples include photo albums, family recipe books, letters, or other personal projects. We can work on creating legacy projects together, or compiling existing ones.

Fulfilling Final Wishes

I will do my best to facilitate any final wishes you have before you die.

Combatting Loneliness

No one should die alone. I provide a warm, comforting presence during the active dying stages.

Organization

I offer light home organization, death cleaning, and important document organization.

Respite for Loved Ones

Caring for someone that is dying can take its toll. I provide respite care for loved ones, to allow them space and time to care for themselves first.

Sharing Space

Sitting quietly with you, or chatting like we've known each other our whole lives -- it's up to you.
