If you are dying, this page is for you. Not for your family. Not for your doctors. For you. You may have been given timelines, treatment plans, options. What you may not have been given is someone who will simply be present with you; without an agenda, without a script, without needing you to be okay. Your death belongs to you. Meghann is here to support whatever that looks like.

When someone you love is dying, the medical system can tell you what is happening to their body. It cannot always tell you how to be present, what to say, or how to hold what is coming. Meghann walks alongside families from the time of a serious diagnosis through the final crossing and beyond. You do not have to navigate this alone.

People in federal correctional institutions have the same right to a dignified death as anyone else. They do not always receive it. Meghann works with incarcerated people facing terminal illness, end-of-life care, and the particular grief of dying far from family, community, and the land they know. A person’s history does not determine the dignity they deserve at the end of their life.

People experiencing homelessness, poverty, or marginalization are among the least likely to receive dignified end-of-life care. This work came from a life spent close to these communities; and the commitment to show up for people that systems have failed is at the heart of this work. Sliding scale fees and trades are available. No one is turned away.

Not everyone has family nearby. Not everyone has a support network. Some people face the end of life entirely alone; without anyone to sit with them, advocate for them, or witness their crossing. Meghann is here to make sure no one has to die without someone present who sees them as a full human being.

For people who have experienced abuse, violence, or trauma; standard medical settings can feel unsafe or retraumatizing. Meghann’s practice is grounded in trauma-informed care. This means following your lead, honouring your boundaries, and creating a space that feels safe rather than institutional. Your history is yours. How you die can still be on your terms.

Many seniors die in care facilities without adequate presence, ceremony, or someone who truly knows them. Meghann offers companionship, advocacy, and sacred presence for seniors navigating the end of life; whether in a care home, a hospital, or their own home.

You do not have to be actively dying to work with Death Tender. A terminal diagnosis brings its own grief, fear, and need for support long before the final crossing. This work can begin at any point; with advance care planning, death planning, or simply having someone to talk to who is not afraid of what is coming.

2SLGBTQIAA+ people face specific vulnerabilities at end of life; families of choice who may not be legally recognized, identities that may not be honoured in medical or institutional settings, and histories of navigating systems that were not built for them. Death Tender is an affirming, non-judgmental presence. You will be seen, named, and honoured as you are.

Your traditions matter at the end of life. Meghann works with Pagan, earth-based, and spiritually-rooted communities who want their dying honoured on their own terms. This means working within your framework; knowing how to hold sacred space, support ritual, and be present in a way that does not impose.

Meghann approaches this work with humility. Indigenous Peoples have their own traditions, Knowledge Keepers, and ways of honouring the dying; and those come first. Where Death Tender can support; by holding space, navigating systems, or simply being present; that support is offered in relationship and in deference to Indigenous leadership and self-determination.

Family looks different for everyone. Polyamorous families, chosen families, blended families, and other non-traditional structures deserve the same presence and support at the end of life as anyone else. Meghann works without judgment; recognising all the people who matter to the dying person, regardless of legal or conventional relationship definitions. Everyone who loves you belongs in the room.

Neurodivergent people; including those who are autistic, have ADHD, or experience the world differently in other ways; often find medical and institutional settings overwhelming, unpredictable, or poorly adapted to their needs. Meghann’s approach is flexible, patient, and led by the person. Communication, sensory needs, and individual preferences are taken seriously and accommodated. A good death should be accessible to everyone.
