My first husband, Richard, prepared me for his death. After he died, I looked for ways to process his absence and keep him present. Attending Death Cafes, joining Pittsburgh Community Deathcare and writing memoir are ways I’ve kept him present. With my writing expertise and over 25 years of graphic design experience, I’ve also begun creating digital stories. I’ve come to love this format and I’m excited to help others record their own or their loved ones’ stories in this way.
