Profile Information:

About Me:

I live in Burlington, Ontario. I holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from McMaster University and has worked in the community health care field since 1976. I am the author of “Baby Boomers Face Grief – Survival and Recovery".

My work has included dealing with palliative clients and their bereaved families for the past two decades and also assists facilitating grief support groups. I have been involved with both residential hospices that opened in my region as well as the palliative care initiatives.

About my Loss:

I lost my mother 18 years ago and it was facing that loss and recognizing the way society deals with grief that was why I wrote the book. I know that different losses create different reactions and it is about the relationship you had with the person who has died.

Are You a Service Provider? If Yes, please tell us about your service.

I present on a regular basis to many community groups, hospices, volunteer groups and businesses. Companies concerned about lost productivity have embraced workshops on the effect of grief in the workplace.

As well I have presented to the Bereavement Ontario Network annual meeting and the Canadian Hospice and Palliative Care Conference in 2007 and Roswell Park Cancer Institute in September 2009. My website it www.boomergrief.com
