✖️ I don't have a dying loved one
✖️ I don't need to talk about death
✖️ I've already been through the death of a loved one
✖️ I'm too young to talk about death
✖️ I can figure it out when the time comes
✖️ Talking about death makes me uncomfortable
✖️ I think I already know what my loved one wants

Death is inevitable, but society doesn’t talk about it nearly enough. A Kaiser Family Foundation survey showed that 67% of adults have fear and anxiety about the loss of a loved one. A study in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management found that 75% of caregivers experience significant anxiety during the final months of a loved one’s life.
Aside from the loss itself, end of life planning and decision making must occur, which can add to your stress and take your energy away from honoring your loved one’s last wishes and enjoying their time left.
How do you ever expect to be fully prepared, fully present with your loved one, and at peace with their death without end of life education?
End of life education is the most effective way to feel confident in decision making regarding your loved one's final journey, honor their end of life wishes, and enjoy your last moments with them.Â

I am a mom, wife, emergency department nurse, and certified death doula. I have been a nurse for 10 years and have always felt a strong pull for those entering their final stage of life.
End of life can be such a beautiful and special moment in our lives, if we choose to better understand it.
About 5.5 years ago, my professional life intertwined with my personal life when my mother was actively dying from cancer. Not only was I playing the part of a grieving daughter, I was playing the role of her nurse because I was the only one that understood the death and dying process.
Too often, I see patients’ end of life wishes unintentionally disregarded because their loved ones panic, or just don’t know otherwise.
I have come to realize that when it comes to death and dying, there is a major lack of education. It’s a topic we don’t talk about nearly enough, let alone prepare for.
This is where I am going to help. I am going to be here for you and all your questions. I am going to advocate for your loved one to make sure their end of life wishes are fulfilled.
It is my purpose to educate loved ones about the death and dying process, and act as an advocate for every beautiful soul on their final journey.
