For more than twenty years, I've been writing, speaking, lecturing, and helping students, counselors, and others. By utilizing counseling and mental health strategies to help people, I provide practical life-enhancing tools, motivation, and steps towards a fulfilled, joyous life. Now, I am moving into a new adventure to use these skills to help other widows and widowers going through the painful journey of living without the their other half.
Presentations can cover a range of topics, including, but not limited to:
simply Living After Loss
As we move through the ebb and flow of living without our soulmate, just moving throughout our days sometimes feels like work. This session will focus on taking that next step and using time to intentionally work through the pain.
Grief Box Strategies and tools
This session will focus on meditation and breathing, bibliotherapy and many other strategies and tools to sit with your grief long enough to heal but not long enough to fall victim to it.

Most still have to continue to work after the loss. This session will focus on the pitfalls within the workplace and how to manage them.

Realizing your strength (that People keep talking about)
In order to relieve themselves of the discomfort that is grief, so many keep telling us that we're strong. This session focuses on using that strength for good (even though we never really wanted to be this strong).
planning for your own loved ones
This experience has taught me how important Bob's planning for my future was. So, this session will focus on the importance of a living will, life insurance, and estate planning.

Stress is an integral part of the grief experience. This session will identify the specific stressors of your unique grief as we all grieve differently, discuss ways to prevent stress and show ways to take care of yourself.
