About Compassion Crossing

Life brings many changes, and some of the hardest ones involve health challenges, chronic illness, and death. At Compassion Crossing, we believe no one should face life’s most difficult moments without compassionate support. We provide individuals, families, and healthcare organizations personalized end-of-life care, illness navigation, and grief support. Our goal is to help transform fear and worry into peace and confidence.

Our Story

My name is Peter Abraham. Life taught me about pain and struggle early on, but when I found Christ Jesus at 28, everything changed. At 50, I became a nurse and worked in different areas of healthcare before discovering my true calling in hospice and palliative care.

These experiences led me to become a certified end-of-life doula, life transition coach, and grief specialist. I completed comprehensive training, including the International Doula Life Movement Grief Specialist Doula course, to provide expert, compassionate support during life’s most challenging transitions.

I believe in meeting people exactly where they are—with no judgment and unconditional love. I help them navigate significant life changes, whether they’re healthy, living with chronic illness, facing terminal illness, or approaching death.

What Makes Us Different

We Focus on You, Not Numbers

Most healthcare workers see many patients daily and can spend only 15 to 30 minutes with each person. We’re different.

We carefully choose our clients so we’re never overwhelmed and can focus entirely on you and your needs.

We Work as Partners

Compassion Crossing works closely with home health, palliative care, hospice teams, and other caregivers to coordinate all your support.

As your life transition guide and doula, we treat everyone as partners, never competitors.

Independent Perspective

While hospice and palliative care providers may offer similar services, we provide them from an independent viewpoint.

We focus only on what’s best for your loved one, without influence from insurance costs, referral fees, or other business concerns.

How We Help Healthcare Organizations

We work with healthcare professionals, social workers, and teams who provide hospice, palliative care, and home health services.

Our Training and Services Include:

  • Public Speaking – On-site and virtual education on topics from life to death
  • Staff Development Training – Comprehensive education covering understanding chronic illnesses and how they progress, recognizing when someone moves from chronic to terminal illness, when palliative care can help patients and families, when hospice care becomes the right choice, grief support training for your team, and practical guidance for caring for those with life-limiting conditions

Our training helps your team feel more confident and prepared when supporting patients and families during difficult transitions.
