”For all my clinical experience with hundreds of families, nothing prepared me for my life’s work more than living through my father’s terminal cancer diagnosis and subsequent decline and death. The experience confirmed for me my life’s purpose in guiding families through this portion of the cycle of life with humor, dignity, and grace.”
Rachel lives in Maplewood, NJ with her husband, two children, and dog, Ollie.
