The dying process can be difficult. These compassionate professionals, sometimes called end-of-life advisors or death workers, can assist a patient and family with all aspects of the journey, from logistics and end-of-life ceremonies/gatherings to legacy planning.

Additional Resources
Academy of Aid-in-Dying Medicine
This national nonprofit provides clinical expertise to those assisting with patients’ end-of-life options. The Academy does not advocate for patients to participate in aid in dying; rather they inform and educate clinicians about medical aid in dying, from clinical discussions to evidence-based knowledge, from palliative care to the work of bedside volunteers, from medical ethics to pharmacology, doctors to doulas.
Kōkua Mau seeks to improve care for those with serious illness and their loved ones. They are Hawaii’s trusted resource for accurate information on Advance Care Planning (ACP) including Advance Directives and POLST, palliative care, which provides relief from the symptoms and stress of illness, and hospice care which provides the best care possible at the end of life.
