I am a 43 year old wife, mother, grandmother and lover of my family’s three pit bulls. I am born and raised in Texan. I am Hispanic, Catholic, Whole Life, anti-racist and dedicated to helping people make space in their lives for their own grief or for the grief of those they love. I speak and write on parenting, my Catholic faith, learning how to process childhood trauma and suicide loss.

I have lived the worst day of my life the day that my oldest son Anthony died by suicide, I honor his life by telling people about him and helping others who have also suffered a huge loss.

Because I have lived that day and survived, I am no longer scared of anything except not showing up as my full self.
