Life brings many changes, and some of the hardest ones involve health challenges, chronic illness, and, eventually, death. At Compassion Crossing, we believe no one should face life’s most difficult moments without compassionate support. We walk alongside individuals, families, and healthcare organizations during these challenging times, helping 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, working in different areas of healthcare. My true calling came when I discovered hospice and palliative care. These experiences led me to become an end-of-life doula and a life transition coach. I believe in meeting people exactly where they are, without judgment, and with unconditional love. I help people navigate life’s significant transitions—whether they’re healthy, living with chronic illness, facing terminal illness, or approaching death.
What Makes Us Different
We Focus on You, Not Numbers
The most significant difference we offer is time. Most healthcare workers have many patients to see each day and can usually spend only about 30 minutes with each person. Because of our mission and vision, we focus on you, not numbers. We carefully choose our clients, so we’re never overwhelmed or understaffed.
We Work as Partners, Not Competitors
Compassion Crossing works closely with home health, palliative care, hospice teams, and other caregivers to bring together all the support you receive. As a life transition guide and doula, we work with others as partners, not competitors.
Independent Perspective
While hospice and palliative care providers may offer some services like medication review, we provide this from an independent viewpoint. We focus only on what’s best for your loved one, without influence from insurance formularies, costs, referral fees, or other business concerns.
Services for Individuals and Families
We help people who want to reduce fear and worry through education and hands-on support. Whether you’re planning ahead while healthy or facing illness now, we’re here to help you every step of the way.
We support:
- People who want advance care plans to feel more prepared and less anxious
- Families learning how chronic or terminal illness changes over time
- Those looking for comfort methods beyond just medication
- Anyone trying to coordinate multiple caregivers and healthcare teams at home
- People who want to create meaningful legacy projects along the way
Our services include:
- Advance Care Planning – Peace of mind through a complete and thorough living will

- Legacy Projects – Meaningful projects that preserve your story for future generations
- Medication Review and Reconciliation – Independent review to ensure comfort and quality of life
- Vigil Planning and Support – Compassionate presence during final days
Services for Organizations
We work with healthcare teams, social workers, and other professionals who work with hospice, palliative care, and home health services. These individuals care for others during both healthy times and times of illness.
Staff Development Training includes:
- Understanding chronic illnesses and their progression
- Recognizing when someone moves from chronic to terminal illness
- Education about when palliative care can help
- Understanding when hospice care is needed
- Grief support training for staff
- 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.
