Emily is a wife and mother to 3 children – 2 girls here 1 son in heaven. Late Christmas Eve (2015) life was sent on a new, unexpected trajectory. Her oldest child, Cameron (forever 7), unexpectedly got sick. Within 24-hours they were making the hardest decision of their lives to withdraw life support.

As he died in her arms, she promised to find a way to live on in his honor. She began sharing her grief journey on her blog (JustPlayingHouse.com), and the response from other bereaved parents was overwhelming. Feedback resonated that support seemed to be lacking. They would say friends and family didn't get it. Relationships became strained. Grievers withdrew. She felt this was an opportunity and calling to help fill in that gap.

Her passion is supporting other bereaved parents walking this path and educating others in an attempt to shatter the stigma surrounding grief and life after loss. 

We all experience loss in our life (death, divorce, broken relationships). We all feel our unique loss at 100%. The Grief Recovery Method provides tools to move through it. There is hope.
