end of life counseling.

to ponder our own death forces an analysis of the life we actually lived against the contrast of the one we wish we had.

Conversations about our own mortality challenge our tolerance for that which remains completely outside of our control. The fear of death exists in such intensity that our psyche expends an inordinate amount of energy facilitating its denial. Death is a universal given; a part of life we cannot avoid or outmaneuver, no matter which of our defense mechanisms we deploy for the purpose. To come to terms with the uncertainty of what will happen to us at the end of life, we must confront the topic of death—albeit gently—head on. Supportive psychotherapy offers guidance and companionship, as you move to explore, understand, and find acceptance amid the myriad of intense emotions brought on by fear and death anxiety.
