About

On November 24, 2018, my healthy, vibrant, brilliant, 9-year-old son, Seth, suddenly and unexpectedly went into cardiac arrest and died.  We still don’t know “why,” and never will.  His case is considered Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC). In the aftermath of this tragedy, I was convinced my life was over.  I had no idea how I would survive or if I even wanted to.  What I call “Life 1” was over and so was the person I had been.  Part of me “died,” with Seth and I did not know the way at all.  So, how am I here now, writing a book on grief, love and finding the way?  Through much soul searching, connecting with Seth in spirit, and clearing my grief, I became open to the idea that healing may be possible.  Not by “moving on” or “getting over it,” but by moving forward and through with Seth by my side.

 

Navigating the stormy seas of child loss as a bereaved parent is very dark, lonely and confusing.  Finding your way after your life is shattered into a million pieces is extremely grueling and exhausting.   It seems impossible in those early days, weeks, months, and years.  Yes, years.  Healing after child loss is not an easy, fast or linear path.  There is no straight line, GPS or steps you follow and then you are “healed.”  Healing is not a destination.  There is no finish line.  Healing has to become your new way of life.  For me, my life has been bisected in two.  The before and the after.  And nobody wants the after.   The “bereaved parents club” is not one people want to join.  But you are also not doomed to a life of sorrow and sadness.  There is hope and you can find your way.

 

After six heart-wrenching and very challenging years, coupled with daily, consistent healing work, I now know the tools to use and the steps I can take to find my way.   And help others to do so also.  Writing “Do You Know The Way,” is part of my healing path.  Much of the content came directly from Seth, while connecting with him during deep meditation.  I knew this was part of my calling and something I needed to do with Seth.  And that is how this book evolved, to you from both of us   

“Do You Know The Way,” will provide you with honest, authentic, upfront healing tips and ways to live in “Life 2.”  Hopefully it will help you find some purpose and meaning.    There are “#way cool healing tips” on how to survive in this grief illiterate society and give yourself grace and find more peace.  Take my hand along with Seth’s and let us lead and guide you on this journey towards love, healing and connection.  You don’t have to find your way alone.  We can do it together.
