Welcome to Loss, Lost, and Leaning Into Trauma, my bereavement journey since the sudden and unexpected death of my son, Sammie.

L.L.L.I.T was created to help people feel less alone in grief and loss. Grieving is an individual, lifelong journey. I hope to help normalize grief by sharing my story about the loss of my child.

I’ve served in the Army, spent 15 years as a journalist, taught in prisons, and worked in healthcare as a critical care tech in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
