what clients say
“Because of what I learned from Martha Jo, we did not miss that last month. We did not medicalize Mom's condition. We did not run away from what was happening. We embraced Mom and surrounded her with all our love and attention and stood with her on holy ground.”
“With Martha Jo’s help, I felt reassured that my efforts to keep my aunt in the in-patient facility was the right decision. I found the courage and strength to proceed and protect her from being moved for bureaucratic reasons.
And we came up with a great strategy if the facility got more pushy with me. The confidence I found after consulting with Martha Jo was invaluable!”
“I had the opportunity and blessing of sharing end-of-life care with Martha Jo. Together we rode the waves of good days and tough days as our friend progressed on her journey.
Besides Martha Jo’s experience with hospice care, she brought a level of knowledge and calm that was priceless with respect to hearing what our friend truly needed and was saying.
Our friend had no trouble speaking or communicating with us, but Martha Jo had the ability to read between the lines, hear the unsaid murmurs, and decipher the quiet messages often spoken in the language of the dying. Martha Jo’s calm and solid demeanor helped me through the roughest of days.
Her wonderful sense of humor was just as priceless on the days all three of us needed a good laugh. I learned so much from Martha Jo on every step of the journey.”
“Because of what I learned from Martha Jo, I was able to meet my mother where she was and experience her final journey with love and no fear.”
“I feel much more peaceful about death and dying. I’ve also gained a much deeper understanding that death is part of the continuum of life - every living creature will also die.
I also deepened my gratitude and understanding of just what a precious gift life is.”
“My heart is even more full. I am excited for life and sharing my knowledge with others. I now look at things in a new light and let the smaller things go.”
“I’ve always said I want to die in my garden on a summer evening. Maybe that really is possible. It’s never too soon to work toward that direction and it gives me the path to follow.
My life going forward with this in mind seems content, calm, and peaceful.”
“I feel much more confident in my knowledge and I am overwhelmed at the vast need for a culture shift for the health of our society.”
