Cathy advocates facing death as a natural part of life rather than being fearful or in avoidance of it.  “Preparing oneself and one’s loved ones for the inevitability of death frees people to live life mindfully, gratefully, and to the fullest extent,” says Cathy.  Explore the reasons facing death has changed in our society, what people fear most, and ways to approach the topic of death and dying in a healthy and proactive manner.

Cathy Hough is the Community Bereavement Counselor for Hospice of Hilo and the Senior Minister at the Center for Spiritual Living in Kea’au.  Prior to her ordination as a minister and certification for bereavement counseling, Cathy spent thirty years as an early childhood educator, serving in the roles of teacher, program administrator, and national training consultant.
