“Death, disability, and end of life choices are not easy topics for conversation. Emotional responses are heightened, fear comes into play – it can be ugly and uncomfortable. Except when discussing it all with Lys.

My physician recently reminded me that I have no advance directive/end of life plan on file with the hospital. Not that I am at risk of needing the information to be disseminated soon, but it’s good to be prepared. I took one look at the paperwork sent to me by the hospital and was completely overwhelmed.

I connected with Lys, who was able to walk me through the paperwork with remarkable ease. They had a thorough knowledge of not only the legalese of the forms, but were able to walk me through my potential needs in far more depth than I had ever considered, and with remarkable sensitivity. They asked probing questions, allowing me to explore my values and boundaries without judgment or shame. And all done on a discreet private call, as I was unable to meet them in person.”
