Death Education - Life Transitions with Kate Brown

In this important interview Kate Brown,  Ordained Interfaith Chaplain will explore death education and life transitions. 

The death of her brother Kevin in 2008 had a profound impact on Kate Brown’s life. Observing her own grief and sense of loss for her only sibling inspired much self-reflection and has provided a clearer path for her desire to serve. 

As an Ordained Interfaith Chaplain and hospice volunteer, Kate is grateful for the life stories she is privileged to hear. As a group facilitator for The Center for Grieving Children, Kate has helped to hold space for widows, widowers and families to share the ups and downs of their grief process.  

Kate is a certified Advance Care Planning Facilitator, qualified to help patients and families discuss and document end-of-life decisions. She is inspired to educate and empower individuals and communities about the importance of Advance Care Planning. Kate believes that those very tender conversations about end of life can connect us in the most profound ways and deepen our living relationships. Kate also facilitates a Death Café in Falmouth at the Center for Balanced Living, a wonderful communal event to share stories, make new friends and discuss all matters of death and dying.

Kate is a trained death care midwife and certified home funeral guide. Her mentor and inspiration is Jerrigrace Lyons, compassionate pioneer and founder of Final Passages, a model project that provides personal and legal guidance to those seeking alternatives to current funeral practices.

Kate lives in Kennebunk with her husband Michael.
