As a young adult, I stood by my mother's side as she took her final breaths, holding her hand tightly in mine. I placed the cross of her rosary beads between our hands and softly recited the Lord's Prayer. In that moment, I felt lost and unprepared, with no true understanding of what the dying process entailed.

 

Years later, as an adult, I again found myself holding the hand of someone I loved deeply - my father - as he passed from this world. This time, I knew what to expect. By then, I had chosen a career in emergency medicine and had spent years supporting people and families during life's most critical moments. 

​

Through these deeply personal experiences, I discovered a calling to transform my own pain into something meaningful for others. I became passionate about guiding and supporting those who are navigating the sacred journey of life's final chapter. It is both an honor. and a privilege to walk alongside others; offering compassion, comfort, and understanding during this most profound time.
