In Unity: Discussing wishes together can alleviate burdens. It's common to not want to burden family, although last wishes are not being shared, creating difficult times for loved ones left to handle your affairs.
Let us help you facilitate these important conversations!
Introducing the Sacred Passage Framework
A holistic, heart-centered approach to end-of-life planning that transforms a difficult process into a meaningful, compassionate journey of connection and clarity.
Most families approach end-of-life planning with fear, avoidance, and fragmentation. Without intentional guidance, critical conversations go unspoken, important wishes remain unheard, and families are left with unresolved emotions and potential conflicts that can haunt them for years to come.
This isn't just about completing paperwork, it's about creating a bridge of understanding, healing, and love. At Informed Choices, we recognize that every life is a unique story waiting to be honored, every family has deep connections waiting to be strengthened, and every final journey deserves profound respect and compassionate support.
Unlike traditional services that treat end-of-life as a clinical checklist, this approach sees it as a deeply personal, spiritual transition. We don't just file documents; we create sacred spaces for reflection, healing, and meaningful connection.
You might be thinking, "This sounds overwhelming" or "I'm not ready to have these conversations." But here's the truth: avoiding these discussions doesn't make them less important, it only increases the emotional burden on your loved ones. Informed Choices meets you exactly where you are, offering gentle guidance, being present and offering reassurance through our proven Sacred Passage Framework.
In the next moments, you'll discover how the Sacred Passage Framework can transform your approach to end-of-life planning, turning what seems like an impossible conversation into a profound opportunity for connection, peace, and legacy.
Why This Matters
The statistics are clear:
90% of people say talking about their end-of-life care is important
Only 27% have done it
82% say they want their wishes in writing, but just 23% have followed through
By taking action, you’re ensuring your wishes are not only heard but honored. You’re providing your loved ones with clarity instead of uncertainty. And most importantly, you’re choosing to navigate this journey on your own terms.
I see you. I see your courage and your desire to take responsibility for this important transition. Together, we can turn fear into empowerment and uncertainty into peace. Let’s make this journey one of clarity, dignity, and love—because you and your family deserve it.
The Sacred Passage Framework
A gentle and intuitive process that walks you step-by-step through the conversations, decisions, and rituals that bring peace, dignity, and connection to life’s most sacred transitions. Through this unique blend of heart-centered support and grounded planning, we help you and your loved ones move forward with confidence, presence, and grace.
Step 1: Clarity and Self-Discovery
Finding your Voice, Uncovering your Values
The first step is to pause, breathe, and reflect on what matters most. We’ll begin with open, heartfelt conversations to explore your values, beliefs, and what “quality of life” means to you. By identifying your end-of-life goals and addressing fears or uncertainties, we’ll bring clarity to your vision.
The Challenge: Many people feel stuck, afraid to start these conversations. They’re burdened by questions like, “What’s the right choice?” or “How do I bring this up with my family?” This step gives you the space and support to uncover your truth.
The Outcome: You gain a sense of self-awareness and responsibility, activating your ability to approach this process with confidence and authenticity.
Step 2: Planning and Alignment
Turning your Vision into Action
With a clear understanding of your wishes, we’ll create a personalized plan that addresses every detail—from advanced directives and living wills to comfort measures and after-death care. Together, we’ll align your decisions with your values, giving you and your loved ones the gift of preparation and peace.
The Challenge: Only 23% of people put their end-of-life wishes in writing, and even fewer make them accessible to their families. Lack of communication creates confusion and stress during an already emotional time.
The Outcome: You leave with an actionable plan that ensures your autonomy is respected and your family is supported. Knowing that every detail is thoughtfully prepared brings a profound sense of relief.
Step 3: Advocacy and Support
Empowering your Voice and Guiding your Care
This is where your wishes come to life. As your advocate, I’ll ensure your voice is heard—whether that’s communicating with family, coordinating with medical teams, or offering emotional support. I’ll stand by you, providing non-medical guidance and comfort to both you and your loved ones before, during, and after death.
The Challenge: Families often struggle to navigate the complexities of end-of-life care, from medical jargon to emotional misunderstandings. Having someone to guide and advocate for you can be transformative.
The Outcome: You experience a seamless, supported journey where your wishes are honored and your family feels cared for, reducing stress and uncertainty during this critical time.
Step 4: Education and Empowerment
Expanding awareness, inspiring action
Many of us hesitate to talk about death, but knowledge is the key to empowerment. Through education on end-of-life options, grief processes, and advanced care planning, I help you and your family make informed decisions.
The Challenge: Most people agree that planning is important, yet few take action, often leaving their families unprepared. By educating yourself, you’re giving them a priceless gift.
The Outcome: You gain the tools to communicate openly with your loved ones, fostering understanding and reducing the burden of tough decisions.
Step 5: Legacy and Closure
Honoring the Journey, Celebrating a Life
This final step brings everything together. We’ll focus on creating meaningful moments, whether that’s capturing your legacy through letters or memory projects, or simply ensuring a peaceful, supported transition. Post-death, I’ll be there for your family to provide comfort and guidance through their grief.
The Challenge: Without closure, families often feel unresolved pain or uncertainty. By addressing this ahead of time, we bring peace to everyone involved.
The Outcome: Your journey is honored in a way that reflects your life, values, and relationships. Your loved ones feel supported, connected, and able to heal.
