iris paradela hunter

iris paradela-hunter is a licensed Willow EOL Educator®. She creates kind, no-pressure spaces where folx can talk about the big, juicy stuff of life—love, death, grief, and legacy—without needing to whisper. She completed her End-of-Life studies at SFU and later trained as an End-of-Life Doula at Douglas College. At 50, she organized her own Living Wake—mostly to make sure the playlist (and the slideshow!) were good and to guarantee she’d be present for the compliments.

Death comes to us all, yet our culture often avoids speaking of it. When we turn away from our mortality, we lose the opportunity for personal growth and for deepening connections with those who matter most.
