Chris is a health and wellness educator specializing in grief. She combines personal experience, knowledge, and skills she learned after the sudden and unexpected death of her adult daughter, Dana in January 2021. As an adoptee, she recognizes grief associated with members of adoption triads (adoptee, adopted parents, and birth parents).
Chris created “Nurturing Ourselves Through Grief” which focuses on how the death of a child (regardless of the age they died) affects parents, siblings, and grandparents. She recognizes how grief of this magnitude can affect all domains of our health and how we can find a path to wellness while still honoring our grief. As a grief educator, Chris:
-
offers support for those in grief as well as for those who want to support them;
-
educates others on how grief affects 8 dimensions of wellness (physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, financial, occupational, and environmental) and guides grievers on their journey to wellness;
-
believes people need support and skill development to more effectively heal places in the domains they choose to work on;
-
and provides supportive information such as affirmations, tips, and insights on ways to cope with and tend to grief on her Facebook and Instagram pages.
Grief absolutely affects our minds and bodies. We need care!
