End-of-Life Planning and Care
Lifelong Laguna provides one-on-one End-of-Life supportive services for Laguna Beach residents. These include planning and non-medical support for seniors who are navigating death or are in hospice, as well as their families.
Members and their loved ones may receive practical, spiritual, and emotional support. We honor each individual’s personal preferences, values, personality, and creativity as they relate to grief, loss, love, and death.
Services are provided by End-of-Life Practitioner and Death Doula Rickie Redman. She provides practical tools and resources and an opportunity for people to contemplate aging and death so they can weave more intention into their life.
Lifelong Laguna works closely with The HeartWay, a nonprofit with a mission to create a world in which no one ever has to die alone, in pain, or without love.
We also offer educational programs including:
- Comprehensive end-of-life planning
- Palliative and hospice care education
- Alternative and eco-sensitive burial options
- Legacy memoir writing
Check the Susi Q registration page to find current class offerings. Classes are available to Lifelong Laguna members and the general public.
