    The Plant Mystic ​257 Danforth Avenue, Toronto, ON, Canada

    Grief Beyond Graves: Queer Mourning & Collective Healing

    Zoom Cornelius, NC

    Less Fear | More Fierce: Queer End-of-Life Planning LGBTQ+ Centric Online Discussion Series 2nd Wednesdays | 1-2:30 pm ET | | January - June 2026 What would collective healing look like if we made space for every kind of queer loss—not just the ones with headstones?

    The Good Death Book Club Experience FREE 12-Month Death and Dying Course

    According to a recent AARP study, there are over 52 million caregivers in the United States right now—and 70% of them say they are overwhelmed.

Let’s make sure yours is one filled with support, empowerment, and peace. That’s why I created The GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB Experience: Death and Dying Course—a […]
