My Name
My purpose to help people transition through loss and grief.

Good Grief the book
Found purpose

“One story inspired me to find a gentle and peaceful way through grief”
Story-Regrets
It wouldn’t be helpful to anyone if I let that feeling of regret weigh me down,
It would simply a source of discouragement and depression with no purpose,
it would interfere with me going on with my life to the best of my ability.
