VIP Elder Care Coachingä

“Envision the Path Before You Walk It” 

The mission of VIP Elder Care Coachingä (VIPECC) is to help bring mainstream society and culture into a worldview where aging and dying are honored events, ones that are discussed, considered, celebrated and respected.

Philosophy

When we wait for illness to strike before talking about aging and the loss of independence and good health or when we avoid talking about the dying process and all the emotions associated with these events, we often find ourselves unable to transcend the muck of the moment.  Choosing to be proactive and educate ourselves on our own worldview and to be aware of family dynamics, we may circumvent pain and suffering later on.  VIPECC views aging and dying as a part of the natural journey in life and works to provide training and support for others to walk this path with greater confidence and peace of mind.

Giving people tangible tools to lighten the load, to see with new eyes, to experience aging, illness and dying in new ways is empowering and life enhancing.  Participants learn how they currently see aging, death and dying and how they might approach these issues.  They are able to open up dialogue with other family members and possibly avoid additional distress in the heat of the moment.

Participants are given a forum to hear what others are going through and to have on-going support as needed from the comfort of their own home.  A community is formed and no one ever has to feel alone or abandoned.  Participants learn what types of healing actions may benefit a loved one in the middle of the dying process.  Even those who are not actively dying, but whose advanced age is rendering them in pain or discomfort—be that emotional, spiritual, or otherwise, will find solace in being ministered to with these simple, yet profound techniques and tools.  Read more.
