I have walked in your shoes, experienced loss, and felt the pain.  A season of life I never wished for, and after my loss decided to help others through their loss and grief.  My life is helping others.  As a professional photographer for over 40 years, I enjoy serving others by creating timeless, storytelling portraits of families.  Life was good until one day waking up as a widower searching for answers.

After losing my spouse over 25 years ago, I felt the call to a new passion, to help widows and widowers survive a loss.  Like you, I found myself continuing life when half of me was gone in reality.  This site, the books, and my speaking engagements are to help you navigate loss and survive to live a life of meaning and purpose. For the person who just experienced loss, you may ask, "what is my meaning and purpose in life?"  I completely understand, and that desire to help you know is my mission.

I pray that you find great encouragement, peace, and comfort as you read these Stories of Hope and join us on our Blog and Facebook community.   Maybe the help you receive here will inspire you to reach out to others and help those grieving and help them through this season of life.  This season does not last forever. It just feels like that sometimes.  I welcome you here and pray you to find information, comfort, and peace.
