Who are we?

We are a community support group focused on assisting with the dying process in the Adirondacks. We offer a variety of educational opportunities to deepen personal insight and provide practical guidance. We are here to create spaces for people to feel seen and heard while we explore our mutual experiences of grief, death, and loss, and to advocate on behalf of individuals to ensure that their rights and end of life wishes are honored. The Death Care Community is a space that can assist in connecting people to services that meet their needs and interests. We seek to collaborate with established organizations and professionals in the field, as well as to draw out the potential of individuals to support one another.
