Normalizing conversations around death.

"An inspiring and informative session today in our online "Year to Live" course with Eileen Spillane RN, BSN, MA. She taught beautifully about addressing challenging EOL issues and completing the practical documents for end of life planning (DPOA/healthcare proxy etc). I highly recommend her courses and individual coaching on these and related issues. Don't Wait!"

TESTIMONIALS

"My sister and I decided to do Eileen’s Befriending Death class as we both recognized that we have aging family members and felt emotionally ill equip to face inevitable deaths in the future. While the class gave us wonderful tools and practice in thinking about and facing mortality - how to prepare for parents getting older, having hard conversations about dying, and accepting death as a part of life - what I found most valuable in my processing throughout the whole class was a new perspective on how to be better at living. Eileen is a wonderful facilitator, listener, educator, and a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. She will make you cry and she will make you laugh. I’d recommend it to anyone, at any stage of life."
