At TRUSTED SERVANTS , we believe in honoring every unique life journey, especially as it draws to a close. As Certified End-of-Life Doulas serving families, we provide a holistic, non-medical approach to deathcare, empowering individuals and their loved ones to navigate the dying process with peace, dignity, and personal agency. We are here to complement traditional hospice care and palliative care, offering an essential layer of emotional, spiritual, and practical support tailored to your specific needs and wishes.
Our consultations go beyond legal documents. We offer dedicated sessions to help you explore the deeper meaning of your life and articulate your legacy. We can assist in life review, creating memory books, ethical wills, or other personal projects that preserve your story, values, and wisdom for future generations. These consultations provide a safe and supportive space to reflect, connect, and ensure your life's impact is celebrated and remembered.
While we do not provide legal advice, we offer guidance and support in understanding the importance of legally sound end-of-life documents. We can help you identify resources for creating or reviewing your Last Will and Testament and Trusts, ensuring your assets are protected and your wishes regarding their distribution are clearly honored. Our aim is to help demystify the process and connect you with the right professionals so you can have peace of mind about your estate planning..
Empower your loved ones with clarity and confidence. We provide comprehensive guidance on advance directives, including Healthcare Power of Attorney (POA) and Living Wills. We help you understand these crucial documents, enabling you to articulate your preferences for medical care, life-sustaining treatments (e.g., DNR, DNI, POLST forms), and comfort care in the event you're unable to communicate them yourself. This ensures your healthcare choices are respected, reducing the burden on your family during difficult times.
