Peacing Out
Empowering you to make decisions for life and end-of-life
“We can not change the outcome but we can affect the journey”
- Ann Richardson
Peacing Out is a compassionate, end-of-life care team empowering you to make choices for life and end-of-life. We are end-of-life guides, educators and living funeral facilitators. Peacing Out is here to assist and support you in understanding the process of dying, advocating for your preferences and creating authentic and meaningful end-of-life events.
End-of-life guides are non-medical support people who understand the process—logistically, physically, spiritually and emotionally—of dying.
Working with a guide to plan your end-of-life takes stress and pressure off of your loved ones to make big decisions for your care while they are in grief and wanting to spend time with you. Plan medical decisions, instructions for care and funeral decisions, so when it comes time, you can just be with each other and honor the time and this sacred transition.
Dying is not just a medical event, it is a transformative, sacred experience for all who are involved. Working with an end-of-life guide provides support for the dying person and their loved ones. Guides are there to answer questions about the dying process, stay on top of death wishes, provide companionship, or facilitate guided meditations and breath work for all involved in the dying process.
There are so many possibilities for ceremony with death. End-of-life Guides offer education to families and loved ones on how to sit vigil, creating a caring and comforting environment to die. Guides can assist with life review exercises, facilitating an exercise that allows for healing or closure. Both Sula and Marifel are trained to facilitate Home Funerals should this option be of interest to the family and community.
Grief needs to be witnessed.
We understand that the dying process is only one aspect of loss. There is no right way to grieve, no linear process to your relationships of love.
This space is dedicated to the different ways we can express our love and grief, allowing the space that it needs, and sharing the power of witnessing our human nature.
Conversations around death demystify the process of dying and ground people’s perceptions in realities instead of projecting fear.
Workshops on advanced care planning and post-death options, death cafes, and more creative events that play with conversations around death - like Death Over Dinner - are all transformative ways to engage in the contemplation of our lives and mortality.
Gathering with people and talking about what is so often taboo to talk about reminds us that death is natural, and the fears we have are shared opportunities to learn and connect.
Your body, your choice.
But so often we don’t know the options available to us. We have relied on the traditional funeral model because we were’t aware of Living Funerals, Green Burials, or Home Funerals. As a part of the planning process, we share information on options available to you and your loved ones so you are empowered to make decisions for death that honor your life.
