Life at Sunset

To die well is to live well.

with Maggie C0mpernolle

I am a nurse and end-of-life coach and educator who aims to bring humanity back into death and dying by starting the conversation about death with anyone touched by the end-of-life process.

What does it mean to you to 'live well'?

What does it mean to you to 'die well'?

It is impossible to investigate one and ignore the other.

Looking at the preciousness of life through the lens of death brings about perspective, urgency, and prioritization. 

Imagine consciously preparing for death— no matter your current condition, considering the end of your life enhances and enriches the life you are living.

Testimonials

  • MICHAEL, 72

    Maggie is a master facilitator and a creative force. She has the ability to take complex subject matter on end-of-life subjects and make it safe, comfortable, and even uplifting. I have gained key insights from her and the groups she leads that have satisfied my curiosities and questions on best practices during end-of-life. I'm more prepared than I could be on my own accord. 

  • K.C., 70

    Sunset Circle offers an opportunity to demystify death by giving it air and normalizing it. Maggie is respectful of all participants and ensures that each person is given the opportunity to share and ask questions or even remain silent if that is their wish. As a facilitator, she is insightful and a keen listener.... I am grateful for the heightened sensitivity towards my own life and that of others that Sunset Circle has afforded me.

  • GENEVIEVE M., 32

    I've experienced a lot of loss in life and it's left me entrenched in my emotions, but feeling a sense of wonder at the same time. Sunset Circle is an outlet for me explore this wonder, which helps me live more present and make space for what's important to me... believe that being curious around topics about end of life leads to deepened personal awareness, relationships, and positive change in our communities.
