Best Three Months
A guided journey for living and dying well
What matters most when time becomes precious?
About the journey
Best Three Months (B3M), is an imaginative and practical end of life practice and journey developed by the Conscious Dying Institute. My offering is my own guided approach to this practice, creating space to explore what matters most both at the end of your life and in the time you have now.
This practice is a deeply personal guided process through the five domains of life that helps you reflect on what truly matters and prepare for the end of life with peace, intention, and meaning. Whether you’re facing a life-limiting diagnosis, navigating aging, curious to explore your end of life, or simply feeling called to prepare consciously, this work offers a structured and supportive path forward.
The Five Domains

Physical
Creating comfort in body and environment

Emotional
Honoring feelings and healing relationships

Mental
Gleaning meaning and life review

Spiritual
Honoring beliefs and practices

Practical
After-death care and ceremonies
“The Best Three Months process is a transformational experience. It brings you right back to the core of what is most important to you.”
- Marilyn, 71
How we move through the journey
Each session has a gentle rhythm with space for what might emerge.



Reflect
In each session, we explore one domain of life. Before we meet, you’ll receive reflection questions connected to that domain to spend time with.
Explore Together
When we meet, we use your reflections as a place to begin. Together, we explore what is emerging, what feels clear, difficult or unfinished, and begin shaping your vision and practical action steps for each domain.
Bringing it to life
By the end of our journey together, you’ll have created your own personal end-of-life vision and plan, reflecting what matters most to you, how you wish to approach the end of your life, and the steps you can take now to live more fully.

What you will recieve
By the end of the journey, you'll have:
-
A personal end-of-life vision and plan, rooted in what matters most
-
Greater clarity about how you want to approach the end of your life
-
Practical steps you can begin taking now
-
More intention and ease in the life you are living today
“The end-of-life work came at exactly the right time! It beautifully complemented my journey, helping me see that death isn’t something separate from life, it’s an essential part of it. Bringing death into my everyday awareness gave me a sense of clarity and integrity that I didn’t know was possible.
Caitlin is an incredibly grounded and skilled guide. She supported me through the five domains with a calm, intuitive presence that helped me clarify and refine both my vision and my current reality. Her wisdom feels innate, and she holds a space where life’s biggest questions can be explored safely and meaningfully. More than that, she helps translate reflection into real, transformative action.
This process has changed my life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Facing death, I’ve found, is essential if we truly want to live.”

"I have gone through the Best Three Months process with Caitlin and constructed my living will. She made me feel comfortable and was respectful of my thoughts and feelings at all times. She works gently and thoughtfully, giving space for thoughts and emotions which might arise.
I felt in control of the process at all times. She suggested possibilities I had not yet thought of for myself and gave me time to consider my feelings about them. The result was a document with which I felt completely happy. I would not hesitate to recommend Caitlin if you are considering making your living will!"
