While we may not have control over the events that occur
in our lives,
we do have choice as to how we will respond.

At the End of Life's Journey
In our culture, few people seem to be comfortable talking about end-of-life. Yet, as surely as
we were born, there will be a time when our journey will come to an end.
What a contrast
this is to how readily we think and speak about the beginning of life. When someone is anticipating a baby coming into
their world, they are often asked: When
do you think it will happen? What do you think it will be like? Are you ready? Are you afraid? How
are you preparing for it?
People
facing end-of-life frequently have these same questions on their minds. Meaningful communication at end-of-life can
be enriching for the person who is dying and for the family and friends. It can be an opportunity for great sacredness
and healing to happen. (Remember that healing does not mean curing; rather,
it refers to making whole.)
Many individuals, families, and dear ones, find that they are looking
for a way to start the conversation. Contact Fredda to help you plan a healing circle or support you in some way
through this time of transition.
Grief and Mourning
After the
death of a dear one, you will embark upon a journey of grief that may feel unfamiliar and confusing. Each person's
grieving process is a unique journey through uncharted territory. It can help to have the support of someone who understands.
In
addition to being someone who is trained to listen and support you emotionally, Fredda will introduce you to how
guided imagery, meditation, and art can help you find ways to calm your mind, nourish your soul, honor the memory of the person
who died, and heal your heart.
