Everything in life is temporary, including life itself. Decide to say Yes! to the gift of now.

"For me, educating and speaking on the sensitive topic of grief is personal!"
Working many years as a death care professional, I felt as though I buried as many hopes and dreams in the cemetery as bodies and cremated remains. Realizing that families needed more support after the services were over and the reality of the death set in, and being denied by my employer to offer grief support to our families, I knew that I had to do more. After working with families, coaching, and training grief coaches, but consistently hearing stories resulting from the lack of education on the sensitive and misunderstood topic of grief, I knew I still had to do more. If never before, it’s time for us to open the dialogue and talk about the elephant in the room.

“This is really an important topic that most people never receive any education about, yet every one of us is going to have to deal with it probably at multiple times in our life. You are doing important work and you have such an interesting story. I encourage everyone to get a copy of Dora’s book and educate yourself and the people you love.”
Dora Carpenter says, "It is time for our society to engage the dialogue actively and normalize the conversation of loss and grief so we can shift this dark and avoided perspective to one of awareness and education on this sensitive topic without fear, myths, or judgmental perceptions."
