Hello!

I am suicide survivor  of both my mother (2025) and my brother (2019) who details her experience of catastrophic grief.  I hope to share my experience and occasionally lessons I have learned from living through torment. I love writing, studying, reading, hiking, exploring, and spending time with those I cherish.

I have an inquisitive spirit and hope that my writing encourages and inspires others to think about God, their lives, and the people that they love. I fail in many ways, so this blog offers glimpses into my life, my shortcomings, and, often, what I am learning through circumstances I did not wish to experience.  I hope and I pray that God uses my words, which feel so sacred to me, to comfort those too afraid to voice their realities.

Writing these comes with a level of vulnerability I do not love attesting to, but I was encouraged to do so by my sweet friends Brittany White and Rebecca Miller.

Peace be with you,

Hope
