Meet Beth

Founder, Daughters Without Moms

Fellow Griever since 1983

2020 has been a year to remember for our whole country, but mine started with the loss of my sister in January, after an almost 10-year battle with breast cancer. I became the last person alive in my immediate family. Then I turned 50 the weekend the country shutdown in March, and an ongoing pandemic. 

Processing the loss of my sister while working from home with less distractions from outside activities gave me a lot of time to think, research, and think some more. I realized that I’d never really allowed myself to grieve the loss of my mom in 1983. Realistically, how do you do that as a 13-year old?

I’m a Daughter Without a Mom, a Daughter Without a Dad, and a Sister Without a Sister. I want to provide a space for people to be together on their grief journey. You are welcome here, and I hope that you find connections that offer you hope and help.

In addition to being a life-long griever, these are my other qualifications:

MBA from Winthrop University
Co-Facilitator of Women in Family Business Leadership Group
Total Quality Master Facilitator for AlliedSignal
Mom of 3 amazing kids and married for 25 years

Note: I am not a therapist or licensed counselor.
