About me
I'm a Baltimore native. I have a degree in nursing from the University of Maryland and a master's in pastoral care from Loyola College. My thesis focused on bereavement by suicide and included developing a bereavement support group.
​
Through my involvement with an online support group, Parents of Suicides, I found a community and formed lasting friendships with other suicide loss survivors.
​
Support groups are not for everyone, but knowing others who survived the most unimaginable loss helped me get through those first debilitating, grief-laden years.
​
Not all of the stories in Love in the Archives are sad ones. There are some funny moments in these pages because Lydia, despite her depression, had a wonderful, quirky sense of humor.
