It’s been a “Christmas in July” season. Looooong days, sleepless nights, and hearts that carry more than words can explain.

So I gave myself a timeout. I drove far enough away that I wouldn’t be tempted to work with my husband. It was hard to walk away but everything worked out.

Niagara Falls, New York was exactly what this weary heart needed.

Standing there with the sun beating on us and listening to the rushing water, I was reminded that God never runs dry. He continues to pour into us when we feel like we have nothing left to give.

Sometimes the best thing we can do for those we care for is to first let God restore us.

To everyone serving others when life is at its hardest… I see you. Keep going.

It’s amazing how life brings people together.

Death Doula Nicole and I raised our kids in the same school district and we’re still raising them in the same schools today. Yet, we didn’t meet there. We found each other through a Death Doula event, and I’m so thankful we did.

We can talk about absolutely anything… and yes, that includes all the “gross” things that most people would rather avoid! Nothing is off limits, and we never have to pretend to be someone we’re not. We also have so many talks about life including its challenges, its beauty, and all the little moments that make it meaningful.

Together, we created Real Talk with Jeanie and Nicole. It’s a no judgement space that allows people to learn how to live with a purpose.

Nicole is an incredible person with a heart for others, and I’m grateful to have her in my corner. This work can be heavy, but having a friend who truly understands it makes all the difference.

Here’s to a genuine friendship, shared purpose, and walking this journey together.

Today was such a fun and rewarding day!

Death Doula Nicole and I had the opportunity to teach a group all about Death Cafes and how they can host one in their own communities.

People from a variety of backgrounds came eager to learn, ask questions, and gain the confidence to start these meaningful conversations. It was encouraging to see everyone engaged and excited about creating safe spaces where people can openly talk about death, dying, and living well.

Watching everyone leave with new knowledge, fresh ideas, and my favorite smiles on their faces was the highlight of the day.

Thank you to Journey's End Cleveland LLC for allowing Nicole and I to share what “Real Talk with Jeanie & Nicole” is all about. We are grateful for the opportunity to equip others to bring these important conversations into their own communities.

The more people we equip to have these conversations, the more compassion, understanding, and connection we can bring to our communities. What a blessing it was to be part of that today.

People often ask what life looks like for me as a death doula outside of work. One thing I enjoy is running!

Today, I ran the Four on the 4th race. I didn’t run it to win. I ran because I could. I had a personal best! It was pretty toasty!

Being a death doula has taught me that life is fragile and tomorrow isn’t promised. So when you can, run the race, make the memories, and celebrate the gift of today.

Fourth of July & Staying Safe

Did you know that the Fourth of July is one of the deadliest holidays in the United States? While it’s a day filled with family, friends, cookouts, and fireworks, it’s also a time when accidents, injuries, and impaired driving increase significantly.

As someone who works in end-of-life care, I’ve learned that life is precious and can change in an instant. While you’re celebrating, please take a few moments to think about safety:

Leave fireworks to trained professionals whenever possible.

Never drink and drive. Designate a sober driver or use a rideshare service.

Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby when using fireworks or sparklers.

Supervise children closely around fireworks, grills, pools, and open flames.

Stay hydrated and take breaks from the heat.

Remember that pets may be frightened by fireworks keep them safe indoors.

Check on elderly neighbors, caregivers, and those who may be spending the holiday alone.

Celebrate the freedoms we enjoy, make memories with those you love, and do everything you can to ensure everyone makes it home safely.

Life is a gift. Treasure it.

Happy Independence Day Weekend! 🇺🇸

I cringe at posts that give a time frame. I recently came upon a post that said “The hospice nurse told me my loved one may have 30 days left to live.”

As an End-of-Life Doula, I believe conversations about prognosis should be handled with great care, compassion, and respect. The dying process is not an exact science. Healthcare professionals can share observations and educated estimates, but no one can know with certainty how much time a person has left.

I also believe these conversations should never be had in front of the person unless they have clearly expressed a desire to be included. Even when someone appears unresponsive, we don’t truly know what they can hear or understand. Hearing discussions about how many days they have left can create fear, anxiety, or unnecessary emotional distress.

Every person deserves dignity and respect throughout their journey. Rather than focusing on a timeline, I encourage families to focus on comfort, meaningful moments, and making the most of the time they have together. Some people pass sooner than expected, while others live much longer than anyone anticipated.

Our words matter. Whether we are family members, caregivers, doulas, nurses, or hospice staff, let us use them to bring comfort, peace, and reassurance.

Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Proverbs 27:1 (KJV)

Today I had the opportunity to spend a little time with a representative from Miracle City Hospice at a senior event. We shared stories, talked about the services they provide, and reflected on the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families during some of life’s most sacred moments.

One statement especially resonated with me: Their mission statement - “No one dies alone, afraid, or in pain.”

As an end-of-life doula and caregiver, those words capture the heart behind compassionate care. Every person deserves dignity, comfort, and the reassurance that they are not facing this journey alone.

I’m grateful for the chance to connect with others who are passionate about supporting clients and their loved ones with kindness, presence, and grace.

Life lately…

Days have been filled with end of life caregiving, Sunday school lessons & other ministries, cheering from the sidelines, editing the book I have wrote, and training miles for a 1/2 marathon squeezed into the middle of busy schedules.

Caregiving isn’t always glamorous. It’s early mornings and sometimes late nights, medication reminders, meal preparation, errands, listening to stories you’ve heard a hundred times, and showing up day after day with patience and compassion. It’s being present in the ordinary moments that make a difference.

This season has also reminded me that when some doors close, many more can open. Not every opportunity is meant to last forever, but each one can lead us exactly where we need to be. I’m thankful for the new connections, new opportunities, and the ways Crossover Comfort Care continues to grow.

I’m grateful for the families who trust me to care for their loved ones and allow me to be part of their journey. It is a privilege to serve others in this season of life.

Life has been full, but my heart is grateful. Thank you for supporting Crossover Comfort Care and the work I love doing every day.

Death is something we all face, yet many of us avoid talking about it. While we cannot prevent death by avoiding it, we can find comfort, understanding, and peace through learning and preparation.

What questions do you have about death or dying? I would love to bring comfort to as many as I can. No question is too small. Let’s start the conversation and help remove the fear that often comes with the unknown.
