Kriss Kevorkian’s work on environmental grief, a term she coined through her own copious research, is nothing short of visionary. We need Kevorkian’s advocacy and tenderness for the natural world and all the creatures that reside within it now more than ever as we face off with the dire effects of climate change. ~ Jordan Rosenfeld, journalist and author
I help people integrate the lessons that grief, death and Nature can teach us. As an expert in grief, death and dying, I’m able to intuitively and compassionately support people through their grieving process and those going through the dying process. Please contact me if you’d like to schedule an interview.

Please note that our previous name, A Grieving World, was changed to A Dying World to reflect the fact that death/dying may feel like a transition while the word “grief” may feel like a lower vibration for those who are sensitive to energies.
