Owner & Event Planner :: Hereafter Events
Starting Hereafter Events has shown me how taboo it can be to talk about death openly in our society. As parents, we are expected to spend months preparing for the birth of our children, and yet the end of our lives is almost always an afterthought; we end up leaving our families to make the most complex decisions on what is perhaps the worst day of their lives. I've also realized that giving someone the permission to open up about their experiences with death and loss can make for a beautiful conversation, and I hope that this event will help us to lead more meaningful lives while we are still here.

After a Traumatic Brain Injury shattered my world - wide open - I embraced life as the most brutal and brilliant teacher of all. Loss, pain, and grief are all inevitable truths of being human. When our world shatters - we are blessed with the opportunity to choose which pieces to pick up, which pieces to leave behind, and which pieces to develop or create. There is great wisdom in loss, yet we so often struggle to talk about it. Building community around death and loss is powerful beyond measure.
