Death Nesting

Companionship and advocacy for you as you live your dying, guidance and support for the people who love you

I just received a terminal diagnosis - what happens now?

How do I navigate medical care while also honoring what matters most to me?

I'm caring for someone who's dying and feel overwhelmed - where do I even start?

How do I have the hard conversations with my family that we've been avoiding?

What are my options for how I die, including ones I may not have heard of?

Whether you're facing your own diagnosis or supporting someone you love, learning about death while it's actively happening is disorienting. There is so much to figure out—logistics, emotions, family dynamics—while also trying to stay present for what matters most.

You don't have to do this alone.

Clarity and preparation

  • Understand what to expect as the body shuts down, so you feel less afraid and more grounded

  • Know your options—including MAID, home hospice, green burial, and vigil-keeping—so choices align with your values

  • Navigate logistics and prioritize what matters, so you're not drowning in paperwork while trying to be present

Emotional and spiritual support

  • Process the reality of dying with someone who won't look away

  • Engage in life review, legacy work, and letters to loved ones

  • Receive support for caregivers—respite, guidance, a shoulder to lean on when it's too much

Practical guidance

  • Facilitate hard family conversations with care and structure

  • Create meaningful rituals and ceremonies that honor this transition

  • Plan and hold vigil during the final days and hours

  • Explore home funeral options if that's the path you choose

What Death Nesting Includes

Education about end-of-life options and the dying process • Emotional and grief support • Care and comfort advocacy with medical providers • Life reviews and legacy projects • Vigil planning and sitting • Ritual and ceremony creation • End-of-life and funeral planning support • Companionship through the final days and immediate aftermath

How We Work Together

We start with a free consultation call to understand where you are and what you need. From there, we create a flexible plan that shifts as circumstances change—because death rarely follows a predictable path. Some clients need support for weeks or months; others call when active dying begins. There's no one right way to do this.

My door is open.

I am ready to meet you wherever you are. Let’s start the conversation and see where it goes.
