Pull Up a Chair
Which seat (or seats) feel most like you?
Not every seat fits every person—and that's exactly the point.
When someone is navigating the end of life, there are many meaningful ways to show up that have nothing to do with medical care. Some people naturally organize. Others communicate. Some create comfort, preserve stories, or simply know how to be present.
No one starts at ground zero with zero skills. At the same time, no one person should be expected to fill every seat.
This worksheet explores six domains of non-medical end-of-life support through a different lens—helping you recognize the strengths you already have, reflect on the support you'd welcome yourself, and identify where others might naturally step in.
