Support for Organizations
Working with Death, Dying & Grief
Specialized Support for your staff & clients
I partner with hospitals, hospices, and long‑term care homes to provide holistic psychosocial support around death, dying, and grief—so that patients, families, and staff experience more stability, less distress, and more meaningful final days.
As a psychotherapist specializing in grief, loss, and end‑of‑life experiences, I design evidence‑informed, trauma‑aware services that complement your existing medical and spiritual care. My focus is on relieving emotional burden, improving communication, and supporting your teams and families through some of the most difficult moments of care.
Who I work with:
Hospital, palliative, and oncology teams
Hospices and residential end‑of‑life programs
Long‑term care and retirement homes
Community organizations serving people at end‑of‑life
Below are core offerings that can be tailored to your setting…
Current Offer:
Remembering the Why in Deathcare
Staff in ICU, hospice, palliative care, and long‑term care are repeatedly exposed to death, grief, and distressed families. Over time, that unprocessed emotional load shows up as burnout, moral distress, disengagement, and time off work.
Remembering the Why in Deathcare is a three‑part, low‑pressure series designed to support the humans behind the roles.
A 3-Part Contemplative Series for Staff working at the Edge of Life
Gently acknowledge what they carry
Explore their own relationship with death, grief, and meaning
Reconnect with their gifts, purpose, and limits
Learn simple practices to sustain themselves in this work
Rather than another training or mandatory debrief, these sessions offer staff a protected space to:
Three 60–75 minute sessions (virtual or in‑person)
Self‑contained sessions—staff can attend one or all
No requirement for personal disclosure; reflection and silence are welcome
Suitable for nurses, PSWs, social workers, spiritual care, allied health, and physicians
Format:
Session Themes:
Meeting Death – How this work shapes us
Grief as a Portal – Meaning, gifts, and limits
Sustaining the Work – Working with death without losing yourself
Benefits to your Organization:
Visible investment in staff wellbeing and psychological safety
Reduced emotional burden and quiet burnout
Stronger connection to purpose, which supports retention and quality of care
We can begin with a small pilot for one unit or team and adapt the series to your context.
