End of Life Offerings & Services
End of Life (EOL) Consultative Care is a companion offering for palliative and hospice care clients who wish to consciously determine their final life journey. Dharma Transitions provides consistent, non-medical, nonjudgmental emotional support and consultative services from prognosis through bereavement.
As your EOL Consultant, I partner with you to advocate and ensure your desires are fulfilled.
My role is to hold space for you and your loved ones to be together and share in the experience of creating a purposeful and peaceful death, however long that takes. I facilitate the planning and completion of your goal to live life to the last moment as you want. In this journey, I work with you to develop your EOL plan and provide dedicated emotional support through that process, including addressing the ever-present grief that accompanies this life stage. I assist you in arranging your transition through death with love and intention. I manage the details to relieve you of the weight of the process, and allow you time to focus meaningfully on being with your family.
