Who
we are
Hey, I’m Kathleen, the founder of The Everafter Collective. As a death doula and end-of-life planner, I created this space to help people navigate death with more peace, clarity, and support—whether it’s your own journey or that of someone you love.
I chose the word collective because death is a collective experience—one that touches not only the individual but everyone connected to them. It’s a deeply human experience, and I believe it deserves the same care, planning, and thoughtfulness as any other major life transition.
My mission is to provide a non-judgmental, calming presence and help you make decisions that feel true to your values. No one should have to face this journey alone, and I’m here to walk with you—with compassion, respect, and even a little humor when it’s needed most.
