Profile Information

About Me:
i am the author of HANNAH'S GIFT: Lessons From A Life Fully Lived (Bantam 2002) and UNRAVELED (Harmony 2005). my three-year old daughter, hannah died in August 1994, and my beloved father, Ron Schlack died of cancer in May 2003.
About my Loss:
my grief in the wake of my father's death surprised me. i thought that because i had already lost a child and because my father was sick for a long time and died peacefully, i was prepared. but nothing can prepare us, because each loss is unique. i still have conversations with my daughter and my father, in my heart and in my head, but i miss their physical presence terribly. the grief gets easier to bear over time, though. it becomes a part of us - a reminder of how much we've loved and of how strong we are. <3

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface
