The mission of Transitions is to provide support for elderly people and their families as they think about and prepare for the end of life and beyond. It is to make the last phase of a person’s life on earth as easy, comfortable, worry-free, meaningful, and enjoyable as possible for the entire family. It is to be a source of comfort, information, and guidance.  

Transitions is, in part, an ongoing conversation I have with families about making the most of the final phase of a person’s life and helping them prepare for what I euphemistically call the Great Transition, otherwise known as death. That part of the conversation is sometimes a difficult one, but it’s so important to have for a number of reasons. Part of what I do is make it easier for families to talk about death, to take away the fears everyone has about the end of life. It’s also to make sure the death of a family member is made as easy as possible on the surviving family members. The loss of a loved one is traumatic enough without the additional chaos that can ensue if proper preparations are not anticipated and completed.

Herein you will find summaries of all the varied services I offer families to help them prepare for, go through, and live a full life after the death of a family member. Please feel free to join the conversation, and if what I do is of interest, give me a call: 508-748-0286. Blessings and peace to you, Peter
