When someone you love is facing the end of life, it can feel overwhelming to know where to turn.

The information below offers a gentle guide—a collection of trusted types of support families often find helpful before, during, and after death.

You are not meant to walk this path alone. I work alongside these professionals to help you understand your options and move forward at your own pace.

Medical & Care Support

• Hospice care providers

• Palliative care teams

• Home health and visiting nurse services

These services focus on comfort, dignity, and quality of life. I help families understand when support may be appropriate and how to begin.

Legal & Advance Planning

• Elder law attorneys

• Health care proxies, living wills, MOLST/POLST forms

• Estate and financial planning professionals

Clear planning brings peace of mind—for both the individual and the family.

Emotional, Spiritual & Grief Support

• Grief counselors and therapists

• Chaplains and spiritual care providers

• Faith leaders and support groups

Support can begin long before death and continue well after.

Veteran Support & Honors

• Veteran services officers and VA benefit guidance

• Hospice programs experienced in veteran care

• Military honors coordination

As a U.S. Air Force Veteran, I am honored to support veterans and their families during this final chapter.

After-Death & Practical Support

• Funeral homes and cremation services

• Green burial and home funeral guidance

• Death certificates and required paperwork

• Respite care, meal support, and caregiving coordination

There is no single “right” way—only what aligns with your loved one’s wishes.

Legacy & Remembrance

• Life review and storytelling

• Letters, recordings, and memory projects

• Celebration-of-life planning

Legacy is about being remembered as you truly lived.
