Meet Maureen — A Steady Hand in the Hardest Moments

I’m Maureen Kures — Death Doula, former RN, and founder of Radiant Mourning. After three decades of witnessing what happens when people avoid planning, I now guide them through what matters most: being seen, being heard, and being ready.

After 30 years beside hospital beds and in hospice chairs, I knew there had to be a better way to support people as they experience the death process. Radiant Mourning is that way — a space for truth-telling, soul-tending, and real end-of-life planning.

 

I believe you deserve more than a legal checklist. You deserve presence, peace and a plan rooted in what matters most to you.
