After years of watching patients and families struggle in silence, Julie began to speak up—holding honest conversations, offering education, and creating space for truth in life’s most vulnerable moments. She believes that when we stop resisting death and allow it to unfold, the journey can be profoundly sacred. Join us as Julie shares how preparation allows us to experience this sacredness fully, helping us be present with our loved ones instead of consumed by fear.
