I didn’t set out to become a grief educator.
I became one when I lost my granddaughter, Alanna, in 2016.
That grief broke me open. And in that opening, I discovered something that I now help others realize:
Grief doesn’t go away. But healing is possible.
Since then, I’ve walked with grieving families as a chaplain, spoken on stages and in sanctuaries, and developed simple, practical frameworks that help people move forward—without guilt, without toxic positivity, and without having to pretend they’re okay when they’re not.

What I Know About Grief
* Grief isn’t linear—and it doesn’t follow a timeline.
* You can’t logic your way out of pain.
* You’re not “wrong” for still missing them.
* You’re allowed to want joy again—and it doesn’t mean you’ve moved on.
* Pain is part of grief. But suffering? It’s usually self-inflicted and can be transformed.
