The loss of my brother brought me to anger; the loss of my dad helped me understand and transform my anger.
I am here to help those with complicated grief + fear of dying move into a more comfortable way of existing.
After my younger brother lived with cancer, and especially after he died, I held tons of anger. So much so that I’d come to believe this anger was simply a part of who I was. I marched forward dragging along my heavy ball of anger, meeting the love of my life, buying our first home, becoming a successful business owner…I was a societal success, hurrah. Then my dad died. It was another trauma-filled experience with many nights spent in the hospital.
I thought I would be okay, I’d dealt with grief trauma before. I was not okay. Something broke inside of me. I became exhausted from being sad. And eventually decided I needed help. It was my own personal journey through navigating grief that brought me to the incredibly deep and sacred world of deathwork. It is my own personal experiences, specifically losses, that have called me to this work. Having truly believed that I could never be happy, and then experiencing deep positive change, I know I need to share and serve those with similar grieving pains. This is my mission through Passing in Peace.
A little peak into my mind and soul.
