Spotlight: Women in End of Life Professions
Jasmine Hathaway
Jasmine is the founder of Compass Coordinators and co-founder of Professionals of After Loss Services (PALS). In 2021, she won first prize in the national “Daring to Disrupt” contest for female entrepreneurs from Ally Financial and Katie Couric Media.
Her businesses are focused on supporting families with logistics, decisions, and tasks after the loss of a loved one.
“Grief knocked me down. Building PALS helped me rise and gave others a way to rise too. This profession is about transforming pain into purpose, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
A Leader In Aftercare Support
The idea for becoming an after loss professional came after her own experience with loss, when her husband Allan died of cancer in 2015. Jasmine was just 30 years old when he died, and completely overwhelmed by the paperwork and bureaucracy she had to deal with in addition to parenting a toddler and working full-time.
She uses her organization skills and detail-oriented nature along with the empathy and understanding that tough transitions require to guide clients through the tasks that need to be done after a loved one has died. In her free time, she can usually be found reading, walking her dog Zoey, or going on adventures with her husband and daughter.
