"I found this program extremely helpful, and I was resistant as I didn’t feel I needed it. It allows a person to express his/her loss in a safe, confidential environment that assists in understanding and working through grief that manifests itself in many ways. I recommend it to anyone who has experienced a loss, as it will make a difference in how they work through the grief surrounding that loss." ~martha

Grief can be triggered by many of life's experiences and there are more than 40 different qualifying grief events. If your heart is hurting, chances are you could benefit from this program and my services. Grief affects all parts of our lives and our health, but there is hope for grievers that this pain won't last forever. In grief, sadness is normal, but excruciating pain is not.

I worked for a Home Care and Hospice agency for 4 years.  During that time, I did a few interviews on the local TV station.  This video is 4 minutes long and the topic is about helping children grieve.
