A Harpist at the Threshold: Hospice Stories of Love & Grace
Written and performed by Jayne Demakos
In this intimate offering, Jayne Demakos invites us to bear witness to the mysterious human capacity that can meet the end of life with unexpected gra ce. Through story and gentle harp, she shares how, even in the most uncertain hours, an innate wisdom can arise—unbidden, unspoken, and profoundly human—and how music can quietly support this unfolding. This is a call to listen more deeply; a call to trust the dying process–because it and uniquely ours. Each one of us.
