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."
