Even though we know it will happen, many of us put off making decisions about end-of-life care. The task might seem daunting or maybe it doesn’t seem necessary; how much control do we really have at the end, right? Fact is, we do have control of certain aspects of our last days, months, and years. We can decide what types of medical interventions we might want, who we want at our side, where we might want to be. We can decide how our bodies will be taken care of once we we’re dead and what type of memorial service would be most fitting. But if we don’t take the time to discover our preferences, discuss with our loved ones, decide what is best, and then document – no one will know our hopes and wishes.
At TreBe Consulting we offer personal support and resources to guide you through the steps of end-of-life planning with a focus on the social, emotional, spiritual, medical and physical considerations at end of life with compassion and expertise. We do not provide guidance on legal or financial matters but can refer to professionals in those fields.
Advance care planning is a process during which a person plans their future health care for a time when they are not able to communicate their wishes.

The Steps of Advance Care Planning
Resources and guidance for life review, legacy letters, and a variety of creative ways to be remembered.
After a person dies there is paperwork to be completed, people to be notified, accounts to be closed, passwords to be unearthed, and a list of other tasks to be completed. There are also decisions to be made about the funeral, body disposition, and an obituary to write. What a gift it is to those you leave behind to have all of this information gathered and in one place.
With the check list we created along with personal guidance and support we can work with you to complete this very important task.
