The Everafter Collective

Hi, I’m Kathleen.
I’m glad you’re here.

I’m an end-of-life planner, death doula, and founder of The Mourning Heart. My work is about making space for honest conversations, thoughtful preparation, and a little more gentleness around death and grief.

The Mourning
Heart

A small heart with a simple message: “Please be gentle with me.” A visible symbol of mourning to wear or share, making room for the grief we carry into everyday life.
