Susan is the founder and executive director of griefHaven. She has a
Bachelor of Science Degree in BM and is a Certified Grief Counselor. After her
daughter's death in 2002, she started griefHaven and has since dedicated her
life to all aspects of grief. Her approach to grief is very unique and covers
the science of grief as well as tools that empower the griever. Susan approaches
her work with openness about her own losses and co-facilitates all of the child
loss support groups. Since Erika's death, Susan has worked with thousands of
grieving parents, siblings, grandparents, as well as those with other losses who
are deeply in need of loving and empathic guidance.
Kane is a licensed MFT in private practice in Pacific Palisades. He
has over 30 years of experience as a support professional, including a
Certificate in Thanatology and Death Education, two years' experience as a group
facilitator at Our House grief support center in West Los Angeles, and as a
hospice volunteer with the Veteran's Administration. Grief support is one of his
areas of expertise. We are excited to be working
side-by-side.
