I am Cheryl Sewell, the owner of endpath care, providing non-medical palliative and end of life care in the North Okanagan and virtually throughout Canada. I am a mother to three boys and a chocolate Labrador Retriever, and have been married to my husband for almost 20 years. I love hiking, mountain biking, and skiing, as well as reading and travelling. I am a lifelong learner who enjoys meeting new people and spending time with my family and friends.  

​

My passion to support individuals and families was inspired by my own family’s palliative care journeys. While I was in my early twenties, my mom was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer that spread throughout her body. In five short weeks, the cancer won. A few years later, my dad was diagnosed with Pick’s disease. His mental and physical health declined until his death 10 years later; a slower process, but no less painful.

​

Although my family and I encountered many wonderful health care workers along the way, I believe additional emotional, practical, and informational support and guidance would have been invaluable through those very challenging times. Having heard similar comments in the community spurred an even greater desire to support and accompany others through their own experiences and as their unique stories unfold.
