Diane is a registered mental health counselor intern in the state of Florida, with a passion for grief education, grief care and grief advocacy. Born into a world of healing grief, she had experienced so many losses by the age of eighteen that she believed she knew everything there was to know about the grieving process. That was, until her only son Sergio died.
Through the tender moments and years that followed her greatest loss, she encountered many professionals who through no fault of their own, invalidated, minimized and avoided her grief because of their own grief illiteracy. Becoming an expert in her own grief, she turned her years of volunteering in the field, into a new career. Determined to help educate others in society where death, dying and bereavement are still challenged with honest, compassionate and understanding conversations; her drive was propelled by her life long love of helping people and the shear determination that every professional has the capacity to compassionately connect with grievers with the time, gifts and talents they already posses.
