Why This Work Matters
Grief is not something to fix.
Death is not something to fear.
These are human experiences that deserve to be met with care, respect, and understanding.
When you are properly trained, you become a steady presence in moments that matter most.
You help create peace where there is fear.
Clarity where there is confusion.
Connection where there is separation.
