Included In Your Course:
“I realized that the topic I had once avoided—only to become somewhat obsessed with it later in life—was now the most important conversation I needed to have with my family. We needed to talk about death. Over the last few months, we’ve been working with Sierra Campbell to turn the anxiety of “what will we do if” into a plan. Via video call, my husband and I meet with our sons and Sierra. Instead of the usual check in, we talk about checking out. Organization can be a balm in the midst of a chaotic time, and as I hear my family responding to Sierra’s questions, I realize that I am discovering a new tangent in the erotic equation.
Talking about death is talking about life—hopes, fears, uncertainty, imagination, legacy, connection, responsibility, love.”

Nurture brought my family much needed moral support and practical wisdom on what to expect throughout the whole journey. We were better prepared as a family because of Nurture.

Not see the process of aging as a gift, to grow older with wellness, to be in connection with community, and to receive guidance with reverence - this is what the world needs. With dignity and care, Nurture is shifting the way we relate to our elders and to ourselves.
