We are glad you are here.
We understand how stressful and isolating serious illness and end of life planning and care can feel.
You don't have to do this alone.
We've been providing compassionate community support and education to the Portland area and beyond since 2018.
Whether you are healthy and beginning to create your own plan, you've had a change in health status or your condition is life-limiting, we are here for you.

Whether you are healthy and beginning to create your own plan, you've had a change in health status or your condition is life-limiting, we are here for you.
We know that our culture does not prepare us well for dealing with death and dying. We also know that education, conversation and emotional support can relieve some of the fear and stress of this experience by empowering families and creating a sense of control at a time when it often feels all control is lost.
We deeply believe one of the greatest gifts you can give your loved ones is a plan. Knowing what you want will relieve them of having to make those decisions in the midst of a crisis.
This work takes courage and a willingness to look at things that are painful and we are taught to avoid. As your companions on this journey, we will meet you where you are without bringing an agenda. We will create a safe space for you to be heard and respected.

Serving as a caregiver to someone with declining health can be an incredibly rich and rewarding experience. It can also sometimes feel isolating and overwhelming. There can be so much to navigate – the health care system, treatment options, deciding to stop treatment, day to day care, end of life planning and the emotional upheaval of all of it.
We’re in your corner!
We offer unwavering support for you (the caregiver), your loved one, and other desired family members, even when the road gets bumpy. Through deep active listening and conversation, we can help you identify your needs and begin to take steps to getting them met. We are well connected with community resources beyond our services and can help you build a community support network.
We believe in the notion that “you cannot pour from an empty cup”. In the interest of protecting your own health, we support you to prioritize your OWN self-care to reduce the risk of caregiver burnout.
While we are unable to make a painful reality entirely go away, as your companions on this journey we will meet you anywhere your heart is, help you carry this burden and ease your way.
