Whether you believe in something divine or simply in showing up with heart, support at the end of life should reflect your values — not someone else’s.

Chaplains and spiritual companions (religious or not) can offer presence, perspective, and ritual when things get messy, sacred, or both.

Support may include:

• Sitting vigil or holding space without needing answers
• Helping articulate your meaning, legacy, or spiritual identity
• Co-creating blessings, ceremonies, or affirming language
• Navigating spiritual harm or tension with family systems

The role isn’t to fix. It’s to stay. To witness. To honor whatever you carry in this part of the journey.
