I am a mom of boys, boys who have brought so much love, joy, and chaos to our lives. I am also a wife to a really wonderful husband, I am a sister, a daughter, and an aunt which all fall into some of my favorite things in life.

 

By day I am a Human Resource Director, I do adjunct teaching one night a week. I blog from time to time, when I am inspired. In 2022, I had the amazing opportunity to speak at Without You, a grief session hosted by David Fielding. And, I am a Grief Guide….

 

The path that has led me to being a Grief Guide is inspired by my children...the loss of my son Robbie and the powerful way that I've witnessed people be moved when listening to Chris speak about his toughest most vulnerable moments.

 

Today, one of my greatest passions is to connect and work with those who have experienced grief and are navigating a grief journey.

 

In November 2020, Robbie, my oldest son, 17 at the time passed in a very tragic car accident. This completely changed the trajectory of our lives. It is hard to lose a child, a brother, a nephew, a cousin, a grandchild, it is hard to lose anyone. I made a very conscious choice in the very moment that I knew Robbie had left this earth, I would be grateful for all of my time with him. It was not yet clear to me then that I would one day be here...founding theGrief22 as a way to support those going through a Grief journey as they celebrate their loved ones' lives.
