Breaking the Silence: Embracing Grief as a Story of Love and Healing

About me

"
As a child, I was taught that there are three subjects we don't talk about: sex, religion, and politics. But I believe there's a fourth: GRIEF. Grief is the elephant in the room, and only by talking about it can we change the way it's viewed. Grief isn't a problem to be solved; it's a beautiful love story to be shared. I'm passionate about discussing grief, suicide prevention, and awareness – it's my reason for being.

Since 1988, I've worked as a research clinician specializing in rheumatology, always striving to help people achieve optimal well-being while recognizing the limitations of traditional medicine. Losing my fiancé to suicide in 1991 and my beloved Doberman, Golda the Iron Lady, in 2017 motivated me to become a Certified Professional Coach specializing in Grief and Loss. After my mom's passing in 2019, I became an Ordained Minister and added Pet Chaplain to my qualifications in 2020 to further support those dealing with loss.

I believe that grief is not a problem to be solved but a story of love. Each grief journey is as unique as the individual experiencing it. As your coach and guide, I'm here to listen, support, and help you navigate this challenging path with compassion and understanding.

If you're struggling with grief or loss, know that you don't have to face it alone. Together, we can explore your emotions, memories, and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental space.
