About Hilary Gallion

At a young 12 years old, after helping to care for my aunt, I sat with my family around her bed and sang hymns to her as she died. Not long after, I found myself doing the same for my grandparents. These profound early encounters shaped my understanding of love's enduring power and the immense weight of loss. It taught me the quiet strength required to sit with sorrow and the critical need for spaces where grief can be openly acknowledged.

These foundational experiences led me to actively foster conversations around death, through coaching, family book club, and now Death Cafe.
