Is it hard to imagine your parents dying?

Does having “the conversation” make you want to run?

Are you super-busy or sick when parent health issues arise?

Is the burden of caregiving freaking you out?

I was like this when my parents were dying. I was suffering from:

DEATH DENIAL!

MOST PEOPLE SUFFER FROM DEATH DENIAL . . .

BECAUSE THIS CULTURE SUFFERS FROM DEATH DENIAL!!

Huge portions of our medicare dollars are thrown at death in the last years of a person’s life. People are pressured to fight on until the bitter end — regardless of the consequence to their comfort, desire or spiritual need.

Death denial causes over-medicalization, miscommunication, confusion and avoidance.

Worst of all, death denial undermines the healing and intimacy a person longs for in the face of death — a healing that could make loss more bearable.

A healing that could avoid the regrets and remorse.

I’ve been there. That’s why I spent ten years producing three films that encourage dialogue around death. That is why I joined hospice and became a grief coach. That is why I am dedicating all my time, education, experience and energy to eradicating the planetary fear of dying.

That’s why I created a new, totally unique, completely ground-breaking webinar series:

In this program you will: 

• DISCOVER the beliefs and feelings that hinder being present, and LEARN ways to transform them.
• REVIEW and REVISION your own life story so that you can help your parents in completing theirs.
• FACE old wounds, lost hopes and forgotten dreams that can undermine presence, through a powerful process of healing and releasing.
• EXPLORE the intended meaning behind advanced healthcare directives and DECIDED what more you should know.
• CONSIDER new resources, ideas and paradigms for life and death that will excite your curiosity and revitalize your beliefs so you can talk with ease when the “conversation” comes up.

What others are saying about Michelle and her live workshops . . .

“I have hosted many patient events at the Cancer Center and the discussion, which Michelle facilitated, on “Facing Death” was probably the most real and heartfelt dialogue between patients I have witnessed. I could tell that these patients and caregivers were just waiting for an opportunity to talk about their thoughts, hopes and fears about death.”.
~Naomi Hoffer,
Program Manager, UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center

“Excellent to be able to talk about reality for all of us and especially if you have had a family member facing death within the year. Helps us to walk ourselves and others home. The more we share, the less alone we are.. .”

Dr. Peticolas’s workshop on caregiving has put things in perspective. It made me realize how vulnerable patients are and how my interactions with them can affect them.”
