I walk with greiving parents through the suffocating darkness of child loss to a place of hope, light and purpose. After the death of our oldest daughter, my husband, Dave, and I founded Grieving Parents Sharing Hope (GPS Hope) which is a 501c3. In 2018 we sold our home, purchased a 38-foot motor home, which we lovingly call the Hope Mobile, and started traveling full time, encouraging grieving parents on their difficult journey, guiding them to a place of hope, light and purpose. NOTE: Please DO NOT solicite me for helping me with my business. We are a non profit and have no "office" and no staff. We especially feel called to giving Believers in Christ a safe place, without judgement or shame, to work through their shattered faith, after the death of their child.Along with being both a workshop speaker and keyonte speaker at small and national events, I have spoken and sung internationally in well over a dozen nations.Becoming an award winning author of several books was another unexpected turn in my life after my daughter, Becca, died. Among the most poplular of them are:1. When Tragedy Strikes: Rebuilding Your Life with Hope and Healing After the Death of Your Child (Morgan James Publishing, New York). 2. My Grief Journey Coloring Book and Journal for Kids3. My Grief Journey: A Coloring Book and Journal for Bereaved Parents4. Hope for the Future: An Advent Journey for Bereaved ParentsLook for our podcast under Greiving Parents Sharing Hope. Our YouTube channel and Facebook page can be found under GPS Hope. Our home base is in Southern Wisconsin where we spend most of the summer, surrounded by our other four children and legacy of grandchildren.
