Care

The end of your life should be as unique as life itself. Tilde is here to guide you through your final days and help you realize your last wishes. Let’s talk about the possibilities.

The realization that your death is in sight will come with a host of emotions to be felt, preparations to be made, and conversations to be had, if you so choose. Be patient with yourself and remember that there’s no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ way to move through this time. Tilde can work collaboratively with you, your community, and your care team for all your non-medical, holistic, emotional, and practical needs such as:

• Advocating for good experiences at the end of life, however the client defines that for themselves

• Provide education on the physiology of the dying process and help loved ones navigate the experience alongside the dying person

• Assist in creating the person’s legacy, also known as “the mark they leave behind”

• Provide non-medical bedside care, including

  • Contemplative conversations about life, death, and everything in between

  • Improving the comfort and ambiance of the space

  • Providing often much-needed relief for caregivers

  • Artistic and creative company (e.g., reading favourite books/poetry outloud, singing, drawing, etc)

  • Vigil sitting when the time is near, so that no one dies alone

• Assist in funeral and memorial planning, including project management and event coordination

• Reviewing and recording the life story, leaving a record for loved ones and future generations

• Encouraging family members to participate at their own comfort level

• Grief education and support

• Assistance getting “ducks in a row”

• Etc.

Book a 30 minute consultation with Jordan, who will get to know you and offer some suggestions for your care moving forward. This is a no commitment conversation. If you are calling on behalf of someone else, we can discuss how to bring that person into the conversation, how to meet your needs, and anything else you think we should know.

Should you decided to go forward with Tilde, we will discuss a package to ensure your needs and wishes are met.
