My practice is an act of impassioned servanthood driven by faith in response to God’s goodness and unending love. I believe that having a safe place in a grief journey is sacred, and I am committed to providing it. Grief, being a normal, natural emotional response to loss, I am a strong proponent for recognizing and acknowledging the need for support, promoting self-care, finding peace toward healing, and living and growing into a different restored experience.
