Let death be your greatest life coach.

 (Really, YOU can...)

You are strong, capable, and creative.

You were taught that this was the definition of success...

You also, my friend, are mortal.

You know how life can shift like a techtonic plate with a serious diagnosis, the death of a loved one -or patient-bringing front and center what really matters- and what doesn’t matter a toss.

This is your life.

You hold the power to choose

to honor your experiences after a serious diagnosis or death;

to get on with what matters most in your life, newly defined by....you

and

to start co-creating your unique circles of support as you age through your last days of living.

Spoiler alert: Independence, that’s a myth. 

We need each other.

Your fears can become catalysts.

You can start again now.

How do I know?  My mother's death was the birth of the next chapter of my life. 

Today, I lead transformational experiences that engage boomer women, healthcare staff, and community leaders to join me in turning our fears or denial of death into catalysts to honor our lived experiences, share our stories and learn how we can co-create the things that matter most as we age through our last days of living: communication, community connections, and care.
