“Death teaches us so much about life” — Chaplain & author Janice Willett on guiding families through death

“We need to break down the barriers and start having real conversations about dying, especially with children,” Janice Willet.

"I think our goal in life is to make a difference in another person’s life,” and for countless families, Janice Willett is doing just that— one conversation, one book, and one moment of grace at a time.

As palliative care chaplain based in the United States, Janice believes she is on a preordained path. “It’s as if my whole life has been preparing me for this,” she says. With a foundation rooted in care and compassion, Janice advocates for personalised support and open, honest conversations about the realities of dying.
