Welcome to a space born from love, loss, and the profound journey of caregiving. I am a wife, a mother to four incredible souls, a dedicated hospice nurse, and someone who has walked the tender path of saying goodbye to both of my beloved parents. My life's experiences have woven a deep understanding of the preciousness of time and the importance of preserving the essence of those we cherish.

In the crucible of loss and love, I found my calling: to ensure that every individual can leave this world with peace, knowing their legacy of love will continue to enrich the lives of their loved ones. Through years of guiding families through their most vulnerable moments, I've witnessed the transformative power of shared stories and memories in healing and connecting hearts across the veil of loss.

This website, and the keepsake book "After We Say Goodbye," are extensions of my life's work and personal journey. They are created to offer solace, to celebrate life, and to bridge the gap between those who have left us and those who carry on their legacy. Here, I share not only my professional insights into the sacred process of parting but also my personal experiences as a daughter, a wife, and a mother navigating the complexities of love and loss.

My vision is simple yet profound: to create a world where no goodbye is left unspoken, where every story is honored, and where the bonds of love are strengthened even in absence. It is my hope that through this platform, I can inspire others to embrace the beauty of life's fleeting moments, to document the stories that shape us, and to leave a legacy of love that endures for generations.

Join me in this journey of remembrance and celebration. Together, let's create memories that honor our loved ones and offer peace to both the departed and those they leave behind.
