LGBTQ+ Centered Online Discussion Series
Join TreeceFi's La Vida Pride LGBTQ+ initiative and Stonewall Village NYC for an innovative LGBTQ+-serving webinar series exploring mortality, caregiving, and grief through a queer and trans-affirming lens.
Less Fear, More Fierce: Queer End-of-Life Planning is a bold and radically welcoming queer space for exploring the realities and unique challenges of facing and planning for our mortality honoring the full spectrum of queer experience in both life and death. Approach living with a life-limiting illness or condition and the dying journey not as medical or logistical events alone, but as a deeply human, spiritual, and creative experience.
Designed for LGBTQ+ people of all ages—and those who care for them—each session aims to create a compassionate, supportive space rooted in care, curiosity, and queer resilience. Together, we hold space for honesty, connection, and the radical act of being fully alive, even in the face of impermanence.
Open to all identifying with LGBTQ+ and allied communities at no cost or obligation.
Co-facilitated by Team Treece's David Traupman with LGBTQ+ healthcare professionals and community leaders from throughout the U.S. Sarah Miller, Paul Nagle, Hannah Yore, and Stonewall Village NYC are not affiliated with or registered with Cetera Advisors LLC.

“I’m thinking of grief as a ball. Sometimes it is large and sometimes small. Sometimes hard and sometimes soft. I can pretend to throw it as far as I can, but it finds its way back. Sometimes I can let it rest almost comfortably in my pocket, and at other times it becomes huge and rolls right over me. More often than not, the ball feels like it has taken on a life of its own. Then, the challenge becomes accepting that dynamic or putting a lot of wasted effort into trying to deny it.”
