Gina Orlando, age 72, created and was present at her own Celebration of Life in January 2025. Gina has been living with breast Cancer for 11 years, the last three years in stage 4. She calls upon her expertise in holistic healing, voracious curiosity, and profound spiritual beliefs to navigate her journey toward end-of-life and ‘going to the light.’ Gina’s abundant intentions for her Celebration of Life: lifting things up for healing—for self, family, community, the world; giving people permission to think differently about their own death, to talk about it, and to plan for it; sharing gifts of love for self and others; and heightening awareness about healing and living well
with an incurable disease. Gina is reaching hundreds of people with her powerful story of celebrating life.
I draw on the mind, body, spirit paradigm while navigating my life and cancer
journey. – Gina Orlando
