Speaking & book signings
A visit shaped around your people.
Derrick speaks with the same presence he brings to the bedside — unhurried, honest, and warm. Whether it is a room of clinicians or a circle of caregivers, the goal is the same: people leave with language for the things they have been carrying.
Workshops for care teams
Practical, unhurried sessions on keeping the patient's voice at the center of care — for hospice and hospital staff, volunteers, and students.
Author conversations & signings
An evening with the book: short readings, the stories behind it, and honest questions answered without hurry.
Interviews & podcasts
Thoughtful conversation about serious illness, caregiving, hospice, and grief — with room for the hard questions.
Something shaped for you
Retreats, chaplaincy trainings, community nights — tell us who is gathering and what you need, and the visit takes shape from there.
For book-signing guests
A one-page keepsake from signing events — a word of thanks from Derrick, the book’s core principles with a few reflection prompts, and where to find the book and its companions. Prints on standard letter paper.
