After losing both of her parents in her early 20s, and much more of her small extended family over the following few years, Alanna McLeod got an early and up-close education about grief and loss. With the empathy and understanding she gained, Alanna became a founding team member of Reimagine End of Life, a nonprofit organization that encourages others to explore the otherwise taboo topics of death, dying, grief, loss, and mortality. By demystifying the topic of death, it is her belief that by preparing for a better end of life, we can live more fully while we are still here.
