When should we work together?

Facing terminal illness with a prognosis of 6 months or less: When you or a loved one is diagnosed with a terminal illness. We can help your processing journey with emotional, logistical, and educational guidance through building an end-of-life support plan - while bridging connections with resources when different types of care and support is needed.

Transitioning to Hospice Care Support: When you or your loved one no longer wants to seek treatment and comfortably manage comfort and pain having a doctors referral of your terminal diagnosis, we can be an added layer of non-medical support providing education and emotional companionship during the transitional stage as you receive hospice services from your medical team.

Testimonials

"I tragically lost my sister and Meg stepped into the shoes of a guiding light for me through the hardest, most painful moments of my life. The level of care she provided for my emotional and spiritual well being was intuitive and just what I needed. When most people would run away, Meg pulls in closer to give you the space to grieve and mourn in a way that reflects your love for your loved one. She breathes in more life to death, if that makes sense."

"Meg made sure I felt supported before, during, and after my mom's passing. She helped me find moments of peace and clarity amidst the chaos and reminded me that I was not alone in my grief. She supported myself and my family in a way no one else could have. I am forever grateful for Meg's support during such a difficult and sacred time. We laughed, cried, and truly were able to honor my mother in a way that I know she would be proud of."

"...Meg stepped in like a guiding light, offering clarity and comfort where everything else felt so uncertain. Metaphorically and literally, she took our hands, lifted our weary hearts, and walked us through each step of this season. She provided compassion, wisdom, and practical support for our father and our family...her guidance and empathy have left an enduring mark on our family. We will never forget her kindness. From the depths of our souls, thank you for being an angel in our time of need."
