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.

Where would you like to begin?
End-of-life
planning
Let’s make your wishes clear and the conversations a little easier. Together, we can work through the practical details, important documents, and what matters most to you and the people you love.

support
You don’t have to navigate dying alone. I offer a steady, non-medical presence, emotional and practical support, and guidance for individuals and families through the end of life.

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.
