I’m No Angel, But I Am…

Written By Gretchen Kinder

“You must be an angel,” is the most common response I hear when I tell people about my work in hospice and end-of-life (EOL) planning.

I believe they say this because they are uncomfortable talking about and/or dealing with aging, illness, and death.

I also believe that it is this discomfort that prevents people from developing EOL plans. It is this discomfort that prevents people from having discussions and making decisions that would help them better cope with a terminal illness or a hospice experience.

I’m no angel. But I am a person who:

  • Likes to have honest, deep, and messy conversations about the meaning of life and everything.

  • Who is endlessly curious about how people make value-driven decisions.

  • Knows the way a wish comes true is to write it down and then work towards it.

This is what makes me a good partner to help you plan your EOL journey. Reach out to learn how I can help you and/or a loved one plan ahead for EOL.
