| End-of-Life
coaching is about living your life
knowing that there isn’t much time.
 It’s
about leaning into issues resulting from changes in your
life. Changes require that we let go – let go of a
relationship, a job, an identity, our independence, a loved
one, or life itself. Feelings of fear and a sense of loss
often result. In order to create something new or to welcome
in a profound shift in reality, we must learn to embrace
What Is. Critical questions now can begin to emerge:
• Who Am I now?
• Am I living in accordance what I value?
• How do I want to complete this chapter?
• If I died tomorrow, would I be at peace with myself
and others?
These are important inquiries during big upheavals. There
is a quickening of the soul when we realize that our time
here is very short indeed.
 End-of-Life
coaching offers compassionate, clear support as you traverse
from one phase of life to another. It is designed for those
who realize that “there is not much time” and
are willing to dive into the deeper aspects of their being.
There is a sense of urgency that you can’t shake.
Your energies become more dispersed or more keenly focused,
depending on your coping mechanisms. Your values have shifted.
You are ready to tease apart these values and act in accordance
with your true heart desires.
There
are things you do, ways to be in this world that are deep
and satisfying
to your soul. Go there. Learn what brings energy into your
life and what takes energy away.
Lean
into your challenges, the shadow parts of yourself, and
wrestle them to the ground. Call in your support and align
with the God of your heart. If there is not much time, do
it now.
Together
you and I will collaborate to identify and create practices
that support you in living the rest of your life to the
fullest.
When
Death Comes
by Mary Oliver
When death comes
like the hungry bear in autumn;
when death comes and takes all the bright coins from
his purse
to
buy me, and snaps the purse shut;
when death comes
like the measle-pox;
I
want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering
what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?
And
therefore I look upon everything
as a brotherhood and a sisterhood,
and I look upon time as no more than an idea,
and I consider eternity as another possibility,
and
I think of each life as a flower, as common
as a field daisy, and as singular,
and
each name a comfortable music in the mouth,
tending, as all music does, toward silence,
and
each body a lion of courage, and something
precious to the earth.
When
it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
When
it's over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular and
real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened
or full of argument.
I
don't want to end up simply having visited this world. |
