Susan met her husband when she was only 14 and he was 15 in their hometown of Toronto, Canada. They lived a life many would describe as the American (Canadian) dream. They became a family of 5, with a dog, their large, extended families close by and wonderful friends who completed their life.

On May 20, 2014, her world came crashing down. Her 54-year old husband passed unexpectedly of a heart attack. The years since have been a whirlwind of emotion, trauma & joy (yes, she said joy, thanks mostly to the birth of her grandchildren).
Within 5 more years, Susan experienced more tragedy through the loss of her dad & both of her brothers. She knew she had to make sense of all the grief. Subsequently, she has completed a coaching program and has been invited to guide caregivers thru a provincial initiative.

During the pandemic, she took the leap and began Evolve Beyond Grief, a community to help others reclaim their life after bereavement.
​
Whether one week or more than 20 years in, everyone who grieves should feel comfortable to share memories and emotions with their friends and family. In order to do so, Susan is commited to help shatter the taboo regarding death and encourages others to join her.

You can also find Susan and her organization, Evolve Beyond Grief on Facebook, Website and Instagram.
