DEATH COACHING FOR THOSE WHO CARE FOR THE DYING
Holding Space for the Truth of What You Carry.
Caring for someone who is dying is one of the most profound – and often one of the most isolating – experiences a person can live through. My work exists for you, the Caregiver. It is my life’s great honor to walk with those who quietly hold the edges of the final chapter.
What Vivere Offers
Death coaching is non-clinical, grounded support that helps you navigate the emotional, relational, and existential realities of caring for someone who is dying.
At Vivere, we focus on:
Staying resourced while caregiving
Making space for anticipatory grief
Creating meaning and ritual during the in-between
Supporting you before and after death
Living While Loving Someone Who Is Dying
Caring for someone at the end of life changes everything.
Time bends. Your body carries more than it should. Conversations become heavier – and quieter. You may feel deep love alongside exhaustion, fear, resentment, devotion, grief, and moments of surprising clarity.
Vivere Death Coaching exists for you – the caregiver, the partner, the child, the friend –supporting someone through their final chapter.
This is not therapy.
This is not fixing, rushing, or making things “okay.”
This is companioning – steady, creative, human support as you move through one of the most tender experiences of your life.
1:1 Death Coaching Sessions
Private sessions designed to support you through caregiving, decline, and transition.
Sessions may include:
Emotional processing and grounding
Decision support without pressure
Navigating family dynamics
Preparing for what’s ahead without overwhelm
Naming what’s hard to say out loud
Available virtually or in-person (Lehigh Valley area).
Caregiving Rituals & Creative Tools
When words fall short, creativity and ritual can hold what logic cannot.
Together we may create:
Legacy Letters
Caregiver “Heart Wills”
Everyday Ritual Practices
Guided Art Experiences
Mindful practices for presence and release
These offerings are gentle, accessible, and rooted in meaning—not performance.
Anticipatory Grief Support
Grief often begins long before death.
This support is for:
The quiet grieving no one sees
The guilt of wishing it were over
The fear of what comes next
The love that already feels like loss
We work slowly, honestly, and with care for your nervous system and heart.
After-Death Companioning
When caregiving ends, a new disorientation begins.
I offer support in the early weeks and months after death to help you:
Reorient to a changed life
Make meaning of what you’ve lived through
Honor your person and your own survival
Begin integrating grief into daily life
There is no getting over, but you are allowed to move with your grief.
I will walk with you.
Legacy Photography
When words fall short, images can hold what time cannot.
Legacy photography is a gentle, intentional way of witnessing love, connection, and presence during a meaningful season of life. These sessions are not about perfection or documentation for its own sake—they are about honoring what is real, tender, and authentic in this moment.
Together we may create:
Quiet, intimate photographs at the bedside or in a familiar space
Images that honor caregiving, touch, and connection
Visual storytelling that reflects love rather than illness
Photographs that can become part of a family’s legacy
A calm, respectful presence during a vulnerable time
This experience is unhurried, consent-centered, and guided by attunement rather than direction. There is no expectation to perform, smile, or “be strong.” The focus is on honoring what is already here.
Legacy photography with Nina Lily Creative is about holding time with care, so that what mattered most is remembered not just as it looked, but as it felt.
Vivere means to live. This work is rooted in the belief that, even in the presence of death, life is still happening and asks to be tended. If you are caring for someone who is dying or learning how to live after they have died, you don’t have to do this alone.
If you’re caring for someone you love at the end of life and you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure what to do next, allow me to support you.
Send a message whenever you feel ready. Share as much or as little as you’d like.
I will respond with care within 48 hours.
