Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers

1. What is end-of-life consulting, and how is it different from hospice care?

End-of-life consulting focuses on helping individuals and families make informed, values-based decisions before and during the dying process. While hospice provides medical and palliative care, we offer emotional, practical, and planning support—such as advance directives, legacy conversations, and vigil preparation. We often complement hospice teams, not replace them.

4. What if I’m healthy? Can this still benefit me?

Absolutely. Planning ahead isn’t just for those who are ill—it’s for anyone who wants to live (and die) with intention. Preparing now relieves your loved ones of future guesswork and ensures your values are honored, no matter what happens.

2. When is the right time to start end-of-life planning?

The best time to start is before there’s a crisis. Whether you’re aging, living with a serious illness, or simply want to make your wishes known, early planning gives you more choices and peace of mind. That said, it’s never too late—we meet people wherever they are in the journey.

5. Are your services religious or spiritual in nature?

Our approach is inclusive and adaptable. We support individuals of all faiths, spiritual paths, or none at all. Our role is to hold space for what matters most to you, and to ensure that your beliefs and values are respected.

3. Who should be involved in the planning process?

Ideally, anyone who may play a role in your care or decision-making: you, your loved ones, your healthcare proxy, and sometimes your care team. We can help facilitate these conversations and ensure everyone is on the same page.

6. How do I get started, and what does a session include?

You can begin by contacting us for a free 15-minute consultation. From there, we’ll schedule a session tailored to your needs—whether it’s help with paperwork, a family meeting, or ongoing support. Sessions are offered in person or virtually, depending on your location.

Having this conversation is one of the best things you can do for your grief.
