Since 1985, I have provided support to people grieving or dying. I hold a Fellowship in Thanatology from the Association of Death Education & Counseling. I received a Ph.D. in psychology in 1992 upon completion of my dissertation, A Long-Term Study of the Psychosocial Variables Affecting the Adaptation of Bereaved Parents

My book, The Space Between: A Memoir of Mother-Daughter Love at the End of a Life (SheWritesPress), is about my relationship with my mother as seen through the prism of the last six years of her life when she came to live with me and I became her primary caretaker. This memoir is at heart a love story. The Space Between has won Nemo awards including the 2016 May Sarton Story Circle award for Best Memoir, ReadersView for best book in the West Pacific, and Reader'sView for best memoir.
