Testimonials
Time with our loved ones is truly precious, whether they’re family or dear friends. Kristen did an incredible job of organizing an event that allowed us to celebrate our dear friend while she was still with us, and in a way that brought everyone together—sharing stories, laughter, a few tears, and, most importantly, love.
Her thoughtful planning made it possible for everyone to be included, with a beautiful, yet comfortable in-person gathering along with a live stream option for those who couldn’t travel. She created a comfortable setting at the family's home with photos, great food, and an atmosphere that encouraged connection and reflection upon everything our friend accomplished and the impact she had in all of our lives.
Being able to celebrate our friend’s life with her—while she was still with us—was a gift beyond words. Those moments of laughter, love, and togetherness created memories we will cherish forever. This experience meant so much to each and every one of us, and we’re deeply grateful for the care and compassion that Kristen took to make it possible.

Kristen helped curate a space for our friend as part of her end of life care where we could come together and consciously say goodbye while celebrating her life. It was so helpful for my own grieving process and allowed me to hug her one last time. It still brings tears to my eyes thinking of it. While I thought it may be uncomfortable it was such a beautiful thing, and I hope more people can make spaces like this to ritualize their journey to the other side.

The “homecoming” party was so beautiful. It meant so much to have closure and to say goodbye and celebrate her amazing life. She is an amazing teacher , showing us all how to die gracefully full of love and peace.
