Walking Beside You in Life’s Last Chapter

Every invitation into this work is an honor. To sit at the edge of life and witness love, connection, and goodbye—it is the most human thing I know.

I’m Shannon Radke, a certified Death Doula and End-of-Life Coach. My work begins with a simple truth: every life will end, and most of us avoid preparing for it.



When we face death honestly and with compassion, we also open ourselves to living more fully. Through Grace in Goodbye, I walk alongside people and families through the practical, emotional, and spiritual realities of dying, death, and grief.

My Approach

Compassionate. Steady. Human.

This isn’t about forcing conversations. It’s about creating a safe space where you can speak openly, explore fears, and find peace at your own pace.



I bring calm presence, evidence-based knowledge, and practical tools to help you navigate with less fear and more meaning.

My Philosophy

Why This Work Matters

For me, this isn’t only about preparing for death—it’s about how we live.

When we stop avoiding the reality of endings, we deepen our relationships, discover what matters most, and leave fewer burdens for the ones we love.

My Thoughts About Death

Talking about death changes the way we live.

On my Substack, I share reflections, stories, and tools about death, grief, and the human experience—always with an invitation to look at life more deeply.
