With End-of-Life (EOL) Planning, you can plan for a beautiful EOL and post-life process for you and your family. I help clients think deeply, plan, and become detail-oriented & creative about their EOL vision. EOL planning goes well beyond estate planning, although finances can be discussed as well. EOL planning is focused on the psychology of your plans, empowerment to choose what you want, how to and assistance with discussing plans with family, and fear around death and dying. This planning process can be done at all-ages, however it is best suited for clients in their younger years. Although you can wait to plan until EOL is eminent, it is advisable to consider EOL planning when you are most sound of mind and body. Dr. Di Paolo is available for public speaking engagements and provides training to medical professionals on how to recognize and address mental health concerns among their patients.
