💌 What would you say if you had one more chance to write a letter?

At our Grief Letter Writing Station, you'll find a quiet space to put your thoughts into words.

Write to someone you miss. Express gratitude, love, forgiveness, or simply let them know how life has been.

There is no right way to write a grief letter. No one will read it unless you choose to share it. This is simply an opportunity to honor your relationship and make space for whatever is on your heart.

Whether your loss is recent or many years ago, you're invited to slow down, reflect, and write. Join us on September 12, 2026 to write what is on your heart.

If you've been thinking about joining our Fall End-of-Life Doula Certificate Program, this is your sign.

You may have noticed a "Waitlist" button recently; that was simply a website error. The good news is we still have a handful of spots available, and we'd love to have you join us!

Our Fall cohort begins September 14 and offers:
• Weekly live discussions that encourage meaningful conversation and deep learning
• A supportive cohort community that learns together
• Small class sizes (capped at 20 participants)
• The option to attend virtually or in person

Whether you're hoping to better support your family, enrich your current profession, or simply deepen your understanding of end-of-life care, this program offers practical knowledge, compassionate guidance, and a community that continues long after class ends.

Registration is now open. But with only a few spots remaining, now is the time to sign up.

We'd love to learn with you this fall.

💬 Let's Talk.

Not every conversation needs a stage.

At the Last Call Mini Festival, pull up a chair at our Let's Talk Table. A welcoming space where curiosity is encouraged and conversations happen naturally.

We'll have the Death Deck and other conversation starters to help you explore questions about life, death, legacy, and what matters most. Whether you come with a friend or sit down with someone new, you'll discover that talking about death doesn't have to be awkward, it can be thoughtful, meaningful, and even fun.

No pressure. No right answers. Just real conversations.

🚶‍♀️ Take a walk. Slow down. Reflect.

One of our favorite parts of the Last Call Mini Festival is the opportunity to explore the beautiful grounds of Sunset Hill Funeral Home & Cemetery at your own pace.

Our self-guided walking tour invites you to discover meaningful spaces throughout the property, including:

📚 The Grief Library – books and resources for anyone navigating loss or supporting others.

☎️ The Telephone of the Wind – a quiet place to speak to someone you miss, sharing words carried by the wind.

🐾 The Pet Cemetery – a beautiful tribute to the beloved animal companions who leave lasting paw prints on our hearts.

🌳 Along the way, you'll also discover peaceful places to pause, reflect, and connect with nature.

There is no right way to experience the festival. Attend a presentation, visit the vendors, or simply enjoy a thoughtful walk through these meaningful spaces.

I love when these conversations happen outside of funeral homes and hospitals.

Libraries are places where we learn, ask questions, and build community—which makes them the perfect place to talk about planning ahead, legacy, grief, and living well.

I'm thrilled to be offering a series of free talks at Buder Library over the coming weeks, and I'd love for you to join us.

Bring a friend, bring your questions, or simply come listen. Everyone is welcome.
