Death & Dying 101 with Death Doula Dusty Rademacher
You are invited to a gentle, honest, and practical conversation about death — something every one of us will experience, yet few of us feel prepared to discuss. This community class offers a safe, welcoming space to explore end-of-life topics with clarity, compassion, and curiosity.
Together, we’ll talk about what dying looks like, what to expect in the final stages of life, how to support loved ones, and the role of hospice and end-of-life doulas. Participants are encouraged to bring questions of any size — practical, emotional, or existential.
Whether you’re caring for someone now, planning ahead for yourself, or simply wanting to better understand the natural process of dying, this class helps bring light to a topic our culture often avoids.
The aim is empowerment, comfort, and community — not fear.
Come as you are. Leave feeling more informed, less alone, and a little more at ease with life’s final chapter.
