We Are All Dying: Interview with Eileen Spillane

Eileen Spillane is the founder of Befriending Death, a platform that offers the signature course “Let’s Chat About Death” as well as 1:1 coaching, a book club and community gatherings. Her motivation to create these courses came from many years of witnessing unnecessary suffering as a critical care Nurse. Her hope is to normalize conversations around death with a supportive, friendly community, so life and death decisions can be approached long before one is hospitalized. In addition to working as a Registered Nurse for the last thirty three years, Eileen is a meditation and dharma teacher and works as an active travel guide for international hiking and biking trips.
