Susan, Spreading HOPE for Henry's Story

“It has been a few years since we lost Henry. He would turn 21 on October 1st. We lost him October 1st of 2003 secondary to a missed diagnosis of HELLP Syndrome. While I still miss him every day, I now connect with him though the love I have for him and not as much through the pain of losing him. I connect with him through hummingbirds and foxes when I see them in nature. I also wear a special bracelet when we travel so that we take him with us into the world. I want people to know that my son existed and losing him was real, but also that you can learn to live with this loss. Connecting with others who have a similar journey can make so much difference.

I did much of my healing before I became involved with RTZ in 2020. I was able to get involved as a support group facilitator which allows me to be part of helping others navigate this type of loss. I am so grateful to be part of this organization. RTZ is an amazing resource for support and information. I am always learning something from the other amazing loss parents that I encounter.

I currently serve on the Board of Directors for RTZ. My business, Henry's Heart Art Therapy provides group and individual therapy for those touched by infant loss. I serve on a local networking group of other who work this field. RTZ Hope has so many resources for providers to include brochures, workshops and information. I use the brochures in my practice and have made referrals to support groups and retreats when appropriate.”
