LINDA HUNTER, DYING WITH GRACE
Since 1997 I have been supporting loved ones
through end of life and for the past few years,
I have been part of a conversation around ‘doing death better’.
I operate from a place of kindness and compassion.
I believe that saying farewell in a heart-centered
and meaningful way is our final gift to those we love;
honoring the life they lived and the legacy they leave.
