Turning Pain into Purpose: My Journey to Helping Others Heal and Thrive
"Grief to Purpose was born from my personal journey through profound loss and life’s challenges. Shaped by the loss of my father as a child and the unimaginable pain of losing my firstborn son, I discovered that even in the darkest moments, faith, resilience, and community can light the way toward healing and renewal. Today, I am passionate about helping others transform their pain into strength and purpose."
From Grief to Purpose:My Journey
Growing up without a father after a tragic airplane accident profoundly shaped my childhood. As an adult, losing my son brought me to my lowest point, forcing me to confront grief, despair, and the search for meaning. During this time, I leaned deeply into my faith in God, and with the support of my family, friends, church and community, I began to heal. These experiences taught me that even in our greatest struggles, growth is possible.
My journey didn’t start and end with grief. Along the way, I faced challenges like navigating a divorce while maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship, overcoming career setbacks, and rebuilding after natural disasters. Each trial taught me the power of resilience, reinvention, and seeing obstacles as opportunities—not just for personal growth but for inspiring others.
A Tribute to My Firstborn Son
The loss of my firstborn son was life-altering. During this time, my church and the community around me—including the girls’ basketball team I was coaching—became a beacon of hope by dedicating their season to his memory. Their compassion, alongside the unwavering support of my family, friends, and faith, reminded me of the strength we find in community. This journey deepened my commitment to helping others navigate loss and find purpose.
