About

This space was born out of love and out of loss. Some lives are shaped by a single loss. Mine has been shaped by many significant losses. Most recently and most harshly, one of my beloved sons.

I am a mom of three incredible boys. I am also learning to live in the after. My middle son, Wesley, was born beautiful and with significant special and complex medical needs including autism. He was a gift and gave the best hugs. Our sweet boy passed away on February 21, 2026 at the age of 24 after medical complications from aspiration pneumonia and infective endocarditis. Caring for him was constant and being his mom was my highest honor. He was my world and it is shattered yet I am learning to navigate this deep grief.

I am also someone who has lived through my first husband committing suicide after a long battle with addiction. Some of my writings are reflections on being the survivor of a spouse’s suicide and battle with addiction and the aftermath.

Faith is woven through all my writings. It is part of who I am as much as the grief, struggle, hope, despair, confusion, determination, persistence, and remaining love even after death.

If you’re here, I’m really glad you found your way to this space
