Services

Support that meets you wherever you are in the process.

Every relationship starts with a free conversation. From there, we shape the support around what your family actually needs.

Grief Support

We provide compassionate grief support tailored to individual needs, helping people navigate their feelings and experiences during and after the loss of a loved one. Our approach is to offer a comforting presence, listen empathetically, and facilitate healthy grieving processes, which may include discussing memories, managing emotions, and finding a path forward.

Caregiver Support and Respite

Recognizing the immense burden placed on caregivers, we offer support and respite services that allow caregivers to take necessary breaks, focus on self-care, and manage their own well-being while ensuring their loved one continues to receive compassionate attention and companionship.

In-Home, Hospital, or Hospice Visits

Our services are flexible and adaptable, providing support wherever it is needed — whether at home, in a hospital, or a hospice setting. We ensure that our presence is one of comfort and support, helping to ease the emotional environment and provide a soothing presence to both the dying and their families.

Bedside Vigil/Vigil Planning

We assist in planning and conducting bedside vigils, creating a serene and respectful atmosphere as life's final moments approach. Our vigil support is designed to honor the dying person's wishes, involve loved ones as desired, and hold space for emotional and spiritual needs during this profound time.

Assistance with Funeral Planning and Memory Projects

We help families in planning funerals and memorial services that reflect the unique life of their loved one. Additionally, we can guide and assist in creating lasting memory projects such as scrapbooks, photo collages, or other personal tributes that celebrate and remember the life of the deceased.

Assistance in Creating Meaningful Death Rituals

Understanding the importance of rituals in the grieving and letting go process, we provide assistance in creating meaningful death rituals that honor cultural, spiritual, or personal beliefs and practices. These rituals can provide significant solace and a sense of closure to those passing and their families.

Specialized Support for African Traditional Religious Rites

We provide dedicated support for families and individuals practicing African Traditional Religions, offering expert guidance in the specific death rites and rituals of these rich spiritual traditions. Whether you are well-versed in your traditions or find yourself navigating them for the first time due to a family member's wishes, we are here to facilitate these important rites with respect, dignity, and deep understanding.

Good to know

A few practical notes before you reach out.

How this is priced

Rates depend on scope — a single planning session looks different from ongoing vigil support. We'll talk pricing plainly on our first call, and I offer flexibility where I can.

Where I work

In-person across Central Florida (Orlando and surrounding areas). Planning, legacy work, and family support are also offered virtually, nationwide.

How I work with hospice

I'm not a substitute for medical or hospice care. I work alongside your clinical team, holding the emotional, spiritual, and practical ground they don't have the bandwidth to cover.

Getting started

Reach out whenever you're ready — before a diagnosis, right after one, or in the middle of active dying. There's no wrong time to start this conversation.

Next step

Tell me where you are. We'll take it from there.
