What brings you to Death Cafe?
To share information about our Death Cafe, Healing Passages, and to connect with others who are looking to open dialogue about the end of life process.
What would you like your legacy to be?
I want my legacy to be one of comfort, connection, and empowerment—a life dedicated to easing the fear surrounding death and guiding others toward a more open, intentional relationship with the end-of-life process. Through my work, I strive to normalize conversations about death and dying, helping individuals and families embrace this natural transition with peace rather than fear.
At Rosemary Raven Hearth, I hold space for those on their final journey, offering gentle companionship, dignity, and healing presence. But my work is not just about the moment of passing—it is about the life that leads to it. I want to leave behind a world where people feel safe speaking about their needs, connected to their loved ones, and confident in advocating for their wishes at every stage of life. I want to foster a culture where death is not a taboo, but a sacred and natural part of the human experience.
My legacy is not measured by the number of lives I touch, but by the peace I help cultivate, the voices I help strengthen, and the fear I help dissolve. If I can leave behind even a handful of people who feel less afraid, more empowered, and deeply connected, then I will have fulfilled my purpose.
