Welcome
When my mother began getting lost while out driving, my siblings and I didn’t know what to do. Our father was deceased and we all lived far away, hundreds and for some of us thousands of miles away. That was the beginning of a four and half year ordeal with many twists and turn. So many in fact, I began to ponder the idea of sharing what we had learned so others might have an easier journey when their loved ones start to decline. I decided first to write a book which I am still finalizing, and then I moved onto the idea of writing a blog and seeking speaking engagements to community groups as an elder care concerns advocate. I have created this website to promote all of these related endeavors including my work as a Certified Life Tribute Celebrant. I plan to post two blogs a month and welcome you to join my mailing list so I can let you know when I have posted something new. I am a member of the Ohio Chapter of the National Speakers Association and continue to develop my concepts and speaker’s platform.
My interest in things related to aging and elder care is a perfect complement to my freelance work as a Life Tribute Celebrant which I have been doing since September of 2018. I prepare and lead funerals and memorial services for families who don’t have a church home/pastor or any particular religious affiliation yet would like a beautifully prepared send off for their loved ones. I prepare religious and secular style services based on the needs of each family. Primarily, I work with Cincinnati’s Historic Spring Grove Cemetery and Funeral home but I have also worked with other funeralate the aging process. Please share what you have learned with others so they will also benefit from knowing more abou homes and private individuals who have learned about my services.
I hope over the coming months you will find my blogposts informative and useful as you and your loved ones navigt what to expect and what to do as time passages lead us each to face the elder years, either our own or the elder years of those we love.
