End of Life Planning
Having conversations with family, health care professionals, and close friends are important for planning your end-of-life care. Organizations like PCOA can help you begin those conversations and give you reliable information on filling out your advanced directives. In addition, these plans allow you to have the care and treatment you would want if you no longer can make the decisions on your own. The sub-categories here will assist you in this process. In the future, the Arizona Advance Directive Registry will be hosted and maintained by a healthcare organization called Health Current. As a result, a person’s end-of-life care plans will be accessible by healthcare professionals as part of their electronic health record.

Hi, my name is Jess, and I’m an End of Life Doula. Have you heard of an EOL Doula ( or death doula)? That’s ok; I’m here to educate and empower those near end of life or just doing advanced preparation.
I guide those that are dying through the process. Together we work through issues you may want to be resolved before passing, things you may be afraid to discuss with anyone else and work on lessening the fear of dying. We also can design and work on a legacy project, something you’d like your loved ones to have, to remember you by. We will also plan your vigil ( the atmosphere you want and the rules your loved ones need to honor while you’re passing.) I will be there with you every step of the way to ensure your vigil plan is adhered to and guide you and your loved ones through active dying. After your passing, I will connect with loved ones to ensure they are experiencing a healthy grieving process.
Nobody should die alone and afraid. I am here to help empower you through death. Studies show that those who use an End of Life Doula experience less pain and have an easier death than those who don’t have a doula.
I would love to talk with you to discuss how I can help you in more detail. Remember, you don’t have to go through this alone.
