Yvonne Heath — We Live in a Grief Phobic Society–#Just Show Up

In her nursing career, Yvonne Heath witnessed our Grief-phobic society first hand and how our reluctance to talk about, plan and prepare for Grief, death and dying causes excessive suffering personally, professionally in life, and at the end of life.

Our loved ones and workplaces suffer less and are able to move through their Grief. Find out more: LoveYourLifetoDeath.com.
