As we enter the final (and busiest) 6 weeks of the year, it can become very easy to become overwhelmed. This can often feel like the season of “Shoulds” You get the idea. Many emerge from the end of the year exhausted. Additionally, many feel behind when they aren’t fully prepared with goals and plans for the New Year. It is likely you will hear many suggestions regarding how to navigate the holidays and prepare for the New Year of 2024.

This is my 10th Mother’s Day without my Mom. Ten years ago I established a space at How To Make A Life sharing the journey of loss from the perspective of a grief counselor. Initially it was about infertility and loss, the death of my mother and then the caregiving for my grandmother and her death. I wanted to help others see that it is possible to rebuild a life after a loss that can feel so destructive there is nothing left. Writing about my grief was therapy for me. Over time I have written less about grief. I felt…
The last decade of my life taught me not to be afraid. Well, at least it taught me not to be afraid for some of the time. In December, I shared on my Facebook page about one particular moment that stands out to me over the past 10 years.

Since I personally know what it is like when life doesn’t go “as planned”, I decided to jump into the land of blogging as a way to support my own grief journey. After many years as a grief counselor, I understood the need to find a tool that would help me, personally. So, this blog became a strategy to support my self-care and healing process after multiple losses. Today, I use my professional knowledge and personal experience as a blueprint to “Make the Life” of my newfound dreams. The “How to Make a Life” Blog is a space for me to share information, inspiration and motivation to help others in their own journey.
