I have accompanied more than a thousand people and their loved ones through all stages of the processes of dying, death, and mourning. I spent more than seven years as a full-time, professional, interfaith hospice chaplain. I can help orient families to the hospice system, support them to ask questions and express feelings, help them reflect on their experiences, and offer calm, non-judgmental information and support. I lead prayers and blessings, help to plan memorials, and officiate ceremonies of all kinds, as needed. I am available to provide individual grief support and to facilitate grief support groups.
