Grief Certified Peer-to-Peer.

Here is a little background information about me. I lost my beloved husband in October 2019 after a year long battle with cancer. We were together over 30 years. I’ve also experienced the grief from death by suicide with the deaths of my first husband and my son-in-law.  I know firsthand the brutal pain of watching someone you love die a slow, agonizing death. I’ve been there with all the feelings of anger, guilt, remorse, etc. with both husbands’ deaths. I know the importance of good counseling or therapy. I know the value of just having someone walk beside you on your grief journey, to listen and witness your grief, and sit with you. I am so grateful I found David Kessler and Grief.com, and through completing his course, I have become a Grief Educator.

My goal is to reach out to others who are walking this path of grief, particularly in the area of losing a spouse through illness or suicide. I know that my surviving these particular deaths, along with the deaths of parents and siblings, has made me a stronger, more compassionate person. I want to help people in grief to know that there is still meaning to their lives and joy to be found in this world. I want them to know they still have a purpose in this earthly existence and help them find ways to honor their loved ones who have passed.  I have the tools, the passion, and the desire to assist in bringing some healing to others on their grief journey.

I am available virtually, but I prefer in person meetings. I can be reached via email or by phone at this time.
