RN, BSN, CT

Certified Grief Counselor

As a nurse who married a small town funeral director, I was soon made aware of the needs of grieving people. It became apparent that support and care were necessary long beyond the funeral service. My natural compassion skills and sensitivity served me well as I began to work with my husband in funeral service.

Through the years I have received extensive training and education to equip me in helping grieving persons in the difficult days, weeks and months following a loss. From working in the elementary schools with young children through support groups for adults, I have learned that the need for this "ministry of comfort" is vital for hurting people of all ages.

I believe that all personal losses, including death must be grieved in a healthy manner.

The support I offer through quality resources, my writings, and support groups can help guide bereaved persons on this most difficult journey of healing.
