Through the end of life – Siobhan Greene

Siobhan Green, President of Hospice Giving Foundation, joins us to go through the difficult conversations we all need to be having

Conversations about the end of life are hard and often uncomfortable – but needed. Have you talked with your loved ones about the topic; Where you would like to be? Who should be taking care of you? These are all questions our guest, Siobhan Greene, advocates for in her work. While death and dying is uncomfortable, it is a natural process that we all go through in life. It is Siobhan’s hope that if we talk about it, we may be better equipped, as a society, to have a deepened understanding of it.

“These are the topics that are incredibly relevant to all of us yet difficult sometimes to lean into and to understand”

Siobhan Greene, began serving as President/CEO for Hospice Giving Foundation in August 2013. She specializes in nonprofit executive and financial management, board governance, marketing, and fundraising.
