“Grief is not an emotion.  It's a way to live.  Grief is loving what you can no longer see or touch.  Love is grieving what you can still touch and see.”

Death & Dying

I hold deep respect for Death, understanding that its inevitability shapes our lives. As mortality affects everyone, I offer companion care for the dying as a hospice volunteer, providing emotional and physical support for individuals and families in the final stages of life. This includes being present with the dying, offering comfort care, assisting during death vigils, and coordinating support for those without family to do so.

Grief

Grief is love's expression in the face of loss. It’s a natural, essential process, especially when losing a loved one. I offer support in navigating grief, sharing insights from Dharma and Yoga, and drawing from my own experiences with loss to help individuals move through their life in the throes of loss.

Touch & Movement

Gentle touch and movement are vital for comfort, particularly during the dying process. I provide soothing touch and/or assisted movement to those who are sick or dying, helping alleviate pain, prevent bedsores, and ease stiffness. This care offers a deep sense of love and presence, bringing comfort and dignity in the final stages of life.
