Update on Todd 🤍
So many of you have reached out to see how Todd is doing.

Todd has successfully completed his acute rehabilitation journey! He is now working on strengthening and relearning how to walk and he walks short distances with a cane and support from his caregivers. He has been working hard at his speech therapy and saying more words.

He has now moved on to continue his healing journey, and we are so hopeful for all that is ahead.

His strength, persistence, and positive attitude continue to carry him through what he calls the “hard” work.

We have witnessed so much grace throughout this journey. God has truly carried him, and we feel incredibly blessed to have been even a small part of his miracle.

We are all rooting for you and praying for you, Todd! 🌿

Thank you all for your continued prayers, love, and support for Todd and his family—it means more than words can express.

Today we honor End of Life Doula Day 🤍

An End of Life Doula is a compassionate guide who supports individuals and families through the end-of-life journey. Much like a birth doula helps usher in life, a death doula helps hold space as life comes to a close—with presence, comfort, and care.

They offer emotional, spiritual, and practical support—helping people navigate difficult conversations, honor final wishes, create meaningful moments, and ensure no one feels alone.

We’re especially grateful to have two death doulas on our team—Kaleigh and Kelly—who have pursued additional training to serve as end-of-life doulas, bringing this deeply meaningful support to those we walk alongside.

Death doulas remind us that dying is not just a medical event—it’s a deeply human experience that deserves dignity, connection, and peace.
