In my early days of grief I needed HOPE.  I needed to see that other families, other moms, could survive the unfathomable loss of their child. I was blessed to connect with a local mom who ultimately offered me HOPE.  I also found a community of women online that supported and guided me throughout this lifelong journey.  If you're looking for the same or just some understanding, let me be that person for you. 

ABOUT ME

My name is Amie...

I am a wife, mama, teacher, author, founder of The Ruthie Lou Foundation and a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®. My most sacred role is being mama to three my beautiful children,Ruthie Lou, Reid & Adam. I love this life yet will always miss the old one.

I certainly didn't imagine the path my life would take. I was not a writer, but through her life and our loss, my daughter inspired a love of the written word within me. I have documented my life as a mom since Ruthie Lou's birth and eventually turned our life experience into books to support grieving parents and siblings, as well as the health professionals who care for families like mine.
