Devan Christian-Vermeer is a therapist, a grief specialist, and a daughter who lived through the heartbreak of her father’s cancer diagnosis — and the unexpected twist of his remission. In this episode, she opens up about the experience of anticipatory grief, and how it shaped her both personally and professionally.
As she navigated her own journey, Devan developed the Compassionate Care Method — a structured yet deeply human approach to helping families connect, preserve memories, and honor their loved ones before they’re gone. Her work is grounded in presence, preparation, and the power of legacy.
This conversation is rich, thoughtful, and quietly transformative. It’s for anyone walking through caregiving, complicated emotions, or the long shadow of loss. Devan’s voice is a guide, and her message is clear: it’s not too early to show up with love.
