Patricia Sears

Vermont

Patricia M. Sears is an End-of-Life Navigator, UVM-Certified End-of-Life Doula, and Death Literacy Specialist based in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.

She is the founder of Graceful Transitions, where her work is grounded in a single insight: every transition carries loss, and every loss is a transition — and neither has to be navigated alone.

Patricia facilitates Showing Up: Supporting Your Team Through Loss and Transition, along with Living Fully & Dying Prepared, Start the Conversation, and the Legacy Leaders Guide cohort. She hosts the podcast In Conversation with an End-of-Life Specialist and writes Graceful Transitions - an End-of-Life Navigator on Substack. She serves as Board Secretary for the Center for Death Education.

A Navigator doesn't choose the destination. You do.

Patricia's role is to equip people for the conversations that matter most — wherever those conversations lead.
