Offering Education, Guidance and Assistance

During the moments leading up to death and beyond, how can we as family and friends care for our loved ones in our own homes? We can help you find your own answer to this question and how to be prepared for that transition.

The Center for End of Life Transitions

The human life cycle, like all life cycles, includes a beginning and an end. Each of us will die; not one of us will be left out. By settling the matters of your world and making decisions ahead of time, you create an opportunity to enter your end of life, the moment of death and what may follow, with greater awareness and freedom.

Based in Western North Carolina, the Center for End of Life Transitions offers End of Life Educational Opportunities through workshops and retreats.

Testimonials

  • Yesterday, Jane’s body lay in state at Ruth’s house. No more Roman Senator. Jane looked like a Buddha. Intensity of focus suggested she was learning to walk or fly or swim the channels of light, while the vigil of the living continued around her.

  • What we did was the difference, for my family, in incurring debt and remaining solvent, and in saying an intimate goodbye in a language we all understood, as opposed to saying goodbye in the mortuary chapel of kindly paid professionals.
