Walking with you into death
The Dying Process involves:
- bringing clarity to how you would like this time to be, and what’s required to make it so
- an exploration of any aspect of your journey towards death that is proving challenging
- presencing whatever wants to come up as we allow space and quiet
- our joint commitment to your dying process being a gift to yourself and to those around you
- our celebrating your growing sense of readiness and relaxation.
It could involve:
- collating your life story in a way that has meaning for you
- seeing to the practicalities of preparation for death, such as a will, Advance Care Plan and Power of Attorney
- sorting and sifting your physical belongings for simplicity, and so that the responsibility doesn’t fall to others
- assisting you to find a death doula to accompany your final days
- creating a shroud to be wrapped around you after death

When my brother-in-law became very fragile… it was wonderful to observe how Margie coped with such gentleness, but great strength and understanding of what was required. Her skill and compassion enabled a very strong-minded old gentleman, with high ideals, but no religious attachment, to end his life comfortably and at peace.

With your kind and warm manner, you made a sometimes scary process into something which was valuable and took the fear away. I really enjoyed the session we did together about my funeral wishes and thought you were so sensitive.
