Welcome to Much Love Lili, a place for caregivers
Offering guidance, organization, and support to those caring for a Loved One with a chronic illness through end of life
What is Much Love, Lili?
Much Love, Lili offers guidance and support for caregivers of those with a chronic illness or in life’s final passage. As a caregiver myself, I know the challenges and problems of that role. I developed this website to provide the methods, plans, and procedures that are so necessary in the day-to-day life of caring for someone else. Plus, as a Certified Death Doula, I know the troubles and fears that come with confronting the inevitable end, and can provide help for that as well.
This website is rich in resources, resources I’ve discovered during my own caregiving journey. With them, you’ll learn how to alleviate your stress and the sense of being overwhelmed by your responsibilities as well as a caregiver’s never-ending list of daily tasks.
Along with the website, I’ve created an all-in-one resource book specially for caregivers, Lili’s Caregiver’s Guidebook. Inside the book and its accompanying Priority Planner, you’ll find the answers you’ve been looking for.
Whether it’s staying more organized, creating a structure of record-keeping with ALL of your patient’s crucial information, or even traveling with someone who is chronically ill, my book provides the solutions and systems you need—plus so MANY other things. For instance, you’ll learn how to create the best possible environment for your Loved One, an environment that makes both them and you feel better.
And if you’re facing the death of your Loved One, Lili’s Caregiver’s Guidebook provides invaluable guidance and solace for navigating this last journey.
If you have questions about your specific situation, I can help you with that as well. I offer one-on-one sessions so together we can go deep to find the solutions to your unique challenges and answers to your questions.
It’s also important to remember that caregiving also includes yourself. “Take care of the caregiver” is a core theme at Much Love, Lili, so you’ll find ways here to feed both your soul and mind.
Again, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

About Me
Hi! I’m Lili of Much Love, Lili.
Caregiving is one of the hardest jobs we can ever be asked to do, or fall into doing. I have been there and had to juggle caregiving for my Loved One, on top of everything else going on in my life. I was exhausted, frustrated and always worried that there was something that I was missing or forgetting about.
If you are like I was, and are trying to balance your regular life with the responsibility of being the caregiver for a Loved One I have been in your shoes and am here to help you. I have lots of practical systems and worksheets that will help you get the specific needs of your Love One organized and running smoothly.
If your Loved One is at the end of their journey and you are wanting to ensure that their final days are filled with peace and love I can help with those plans too. I am a Certified End of Life Doula and have also created systems that will help you ensure that your Loved One has the best possible loving and peaceful transition.
At Much Love, Lili, you’ll learn that you are not alone. I’m here for you. I will teach you all that I developed during my own caregiving journey.

Holidays and Missing Our Loved Ones
Holidays are usually a wonderful time when we connect with family and share traditions. As we get older, and Loved Ones are no longer with us, holidays often become a mixed blessing.
Putting your Loved One first might mean not telling the truth
When people are confused or have dementia, they probably won’t remember your words, but they will definitely remember how you made them feel.

If you are providing care to a Loved One, Lili’s Caregiver’s Guide is an amazing resource. Lili’s attention to detail is unsurpassed. She has organized so much valuable information in this guide including legal concerns and tips, medical tracking forms, advice on approaching tricky subjects, and tips on self-care. This guide equips caregivers to be great advocates for their Loved Ones. Lili writes with great compassion, knowledge, and love, and speaks to the reader as one would converse with a trusted friend. I recommend this book to anyone caring for someone they love. It is as if Lili is taking you by the hand and walking with you on the unchartered terrain of caregiving. Caregiving can be a lonely journey; Lili’s Caregiver’s Guide empowers caregivers and reminds anyone on the caregiving journey that they are never alone.”

Lili is a gifted professional who helped me immensely during the sickness and death of my mother over the past two years. She has a vast repertoire of techniques to offer based on her lifelong learning experiences. Those techniques range from the sweet and simple acts of kindness to the communication support for strengthening and encouraging Loved Ones and family members. Everyone needs to be as equipped as possible to navigate this uncharted territory. Lili is able to objectively assess the situation, identify the obstacles and offer the love and support needed with a caring and genuine perspective. My experience would not have been as meaningful without her help. I highly recommend her to anyone navigating this part of their life journey!
Michelle S. – Vermont
As someone working in geriatric social and support services, death was a topic that I dealt with regularly. It felt heavy and taboo. It wasn’t until Lili entered my life that I was able to frame it not as a time of profound loss and sadness and fear, but as a sacred transition, process, and passage to be honored. Lili’s wisdom completely shifted how I viewed the end-of-life experience, which not only improved my own experience of the loss of Loved Ones, but how I was able to support clients making their own transitions.

Lili has helped me tremendously over the past few years with my aging parents. Her vast knowledge of caregiver, medical and both physical and emotional issues when giving advice is invaluable and so comforting. Lili’s thoughtful communication and calm demeanor make her an ideal support person for anyone who is on this aging journey with Loved Ones. It’s an emotional roller coaster ride that no one is prepared for. We all must face end of life decisions but few people guide and offer a helping hand. Until Much Love, Lili!! Her services are absolutely needed for anyone who is navigating the labyrinth of our medical system along with anticipatory grief.
