Death Educator
Conversation Partner & Community Death Educator
Do you have questions about dying, death, funeral arrangements, what will happen to your body when you die?
Schedule time with me to talk about general questions and concerns, to address specific needs, or to formulate a written Death Plan. If you want to explore these topics in the company of others, invite me to speak to your community or organization, or sign up for one of my online cohorts or classes.
I’ve participated in and led hundreds of conversations about death and dying across the generations – one-on-one, with couples and families, in small groups and auditoriums holding hundreds. With the dying and the deeply bereaved. With chaplains, nurses, and other professionals. In Zoom rooms and community centers, restaurants and libraries, hospice programs and senior communities – even at a college reunion and a music festival.
