Empowering Families, Inspiring Hope - Reinforce Love in Life's Toughest Times
I lost my son at the age of 3 months and 9 days. With limited family support, I faced the task of breaking news to family, financing and burying my child and dealing with the emotion of having a child die of an unknown cause. After 23 years of trying to find closure, I had my son exhumed and cremated so he could be with me daily. I still have many unanswered questions and face questions daily on why my child died, why I chose to have him exhumed and why I am still grieving. After researching, I found a significant resource gap for families that will be this foundation's goal to fill.
Today I spend my time assisting families who have suffered a similar tragedy. Whether it is providing support through a phone call, referring a family to those who can provide grief support and counseling or assisting with funeral arrangements, I assist those who contact the foundation. Additionally, I meet with funeral homes, cemeteries, law enforcement and others to educate them on the needs of these families by sharing her story and providing educational materials.
