This website is a culmination of years of healing grief and transforming my life. I have been blessed with much in my life. I wouldn’t be in this moment today, without everything I’ve faced and healed. Two of my greatest losses have been my parents, who died unexpectedly and quickly of cancer. My mother Jane was only 53 when she was diagnosed and died of lung cancer. She lived only three months with her diagnosis of cancer.
In 2003, six years after my mother’s death; just when I was seeing the light of life again and feeling like I could go on I was blindsided by my father’s unexpected and devestating news. He had cancer, he was only 59. He was diagnosed on a Friday with Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and by Monday night he was in emergency surgery due to his cancer. He died twelve days later with myself and my family by his side.
This website is a place of healing, love and inspiration. I created it to give comfort and support to those who have felt the pain of loss and to show them through my healing and my gradual transformation that there can be life again, despite our painful losses. Healing happens slowly, as we are ready and as we feel ready to face the world again. It won’t be rushed and our pain wont just disappear. It’s there, waiting for us in the unexpected moments, knowing we must face it, not flee.
Only when we face our pain, our losses can we truly heal and transform our life into something that feels joyous again. I have done that. I have reached a place of healing and now it is my life’s work to help others find that path to healing and peace. In honor of that work and the gift of my parents and their love I dedicate this page to them. I feel continued support from them on the other side. They assist me and they guide me. I love you mom and dad. I feel you with me. Thank you! I miss you.
