Halloween doesn't reschedule for rain!

The Altmeyer Funeral Homes- Virginia annual Trunk-or-Treat brought out lots of ghosts, goblins, and ghouls despite the clouds.

We had a lovely breakfast and enjoyed amazing conversation with local professionals focused on building meaningful connections through guided conversations.

Small-group discussions encouraged participants to share experiences, values, and perspectives, fostering trust and understanding within the community.

We look forward to offering more interpersonal networking opportunities and expanding our end-of-life education to the community into 2026!

Thank you for being a part of this journey!

💬 Choosing the Right Health Care Proxy: A Matter of Trust and Clarity

"In my work as a death doula, I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact of selecting the right health care proxy. It's not just about filling out a form—it's about entrusting someone with your voice when you can't speak for yourself." 🗣️
- Darnell Lamont Walker

The right proxy isn't always the obvious choice. It's someone who understands your values, respects your wishes, and can navigate the complexities of medical decisions with clarity and compassion. 💖
