My Journey from Heartbreak to Helpful
As a healthcare CEO, widow of a palliative care physician, family caregiver to my mother, husband, then father as well as sole survivor sibling for over 40 years, I have unique insights about caregiving, end of life, and grief.
My goal is to enhance societal death literacy by recognizing and advocating for: the family caregiver, complete end-of-life preparations, comprehensive after-loss services, and a thorough understanding and support of those grieving loss from death.
