I am a licensed and certified greif specialist. I am a mom, and a parentless daughter, living and grieving.
In 2010 I lost my dad suddenly, then in 2011, I lost my baby Chloe, and After Chloe, I felt like I died inside and all while I was my mother’s caretaker… I then… lost my mom in 2012. I was alone and did not know where to go for support.
I felt as if no one understood how or what I felt. No one spoke grief. I felt as if I had lost everything. Unknown to me… the community of After Chloe was being birthed.
Jump to 2015, I had gone back to do what I needed to become a licensed and certified grief specialist and to understand that grief is different for everyone. There is no one way to grieve. No cure, no fix or solution.
BUT I do believe you can find your living after loss. I think you can find your way..to feel what you feel one step at a time. Am I an expert? I don’t think anyone is an expert in experiencing pain, but I believe I am a human who brings experience in living human experiences encouraging you to do the same. I want to offer you the ability never to feel what I felt- the isolation, the aloneness, or the feeling as if your friends and family did not understand.
“No one will grieve or feel what you feel, but for you to know that you aren't alone, others have compassion and understand that you need support; will change your grief process!”
My turning point
I then decided to become a grief educator, an advocate to yell from the rooftops that you can grieve your way, and there is no one way to grieve but instead for you to find the resources and tools that work for you.
I am proud of the community and support I offer through After Chloe and always honouring my parents and daughter.
I live in Southern California (and frequently visit our old home state of Nevada) with Chloe’s dad and our two pit bull rescues. I love to watch reality TV and I also enjoy TIK TOK and a good romcom.
“Grieving and Suffering are not the same!”
