"Before I started, I thought I knew what needed doing. Through working with Johanna, I realized that only half of it was done- there was a lot more to it than I originally might have expected. What was keeping me from doing this work was the overwhelm, and Johanna helped me bite it off into little chunks. My advanced directive had been sitting in my computer for however long and I sort of had it filled out.
It's almost like having her hold your hand, going through it, breaking it down and making it easier. Because again, it's one thing to think about it and look at it, but another thing to talk through things with someone who is in the same space. You've got to talk about these liminal spaces between the nuts and bolts aspects of stuff. That was really inspiring and encouraging. It's not as scary as it sounds, and it's not as hard as it as you think it might be. When you're finished, it's really satisfying to know that that's something that's tidy and you don't need to worry about it anymore!"
