As a parent who has experienced the loss of a child to medical illness, I offer parent to parent support to others either anticipating such a loss or following the death of a child. I have offered both one to one and group support over the past nine years, offering compassionate listening, understanding, and hope that the pain of grief will evolve.
I am the author of Happy Faces Only: The Story of a Little Girl Who Lived, a memoir about my family’s journey with our daughter, hoping to help others better understand the experience of living with a child with a life-threatening illness and end of life care, and relatability for others walking a similar path. I have been sharing my family’s story for over a decade with healthcare professional and post-secondary student audiences. I am open to requests for speaking engagements on a variety of topics related to my lived experience.
