“Crystal was a crucial guide for a family member. She was professional, efficient, capable, trustworthy, knowledgeable and ethical. She met with us, quickly ascertained the situation, asked insightful questions, really listened, worked seamlessly with the doctor, effectively integrated hospice into an existing private care arrangement, and educated us on what to expect.

Throughout, Crystal was available for an astonishing array of tasks and support, both practical and personal. She calibrated her role exactly to fit my loved one’s temperament and the family’s needs. She respected their intellect, abilities, agency and personhood, and helped them do what they had elected, never substituting her judgment, always sharing her deep expertise and compassionate understanding. Her communications were clear, while never eliding complexities and realities.

I have tremendous respect for Crystal. Her work is brave and generous. The value of her support to a person approaching the end of life, or walking alongside a loved one, is incalculable..”
