Why I Love What I Do…
My passion for grief work is anchored in years working in acute healthcare settings, my more recent years working as a licensed funeral director, my career as a Certified Fellow in Thanatology, and my own experience as a grieving human. Experiencing the grief process in an anticipatory setting before a death has occurred, as well as counseling bereaved families and friends as a licensed funeral director as the grief process unravels after a death has occurred, has fundamentally shaped how I work with grief.
It is my belief that there is one universality in the grief experience, and it is that no grief experience is greater or less than the experience of another. Grief wears many more masks than one, and grief work should be approached as a highly-individualized experience that looks entirely different from person to person.
