Having lost her only child, Erika Whitmore Godwin, to a rare sinus cancer, Susan Whitmore was inspired to change her life's work from her successful and rewarding career as a Director of Administration for major law firms to helping others who would know the pain of losing a child.

Susan Whitmore now spends a large portion of her time working with parents and others impacted directly by a child's death, as well as educating specialists who work regularly with those whose children have died.

Susan Whitmore's candid yet gentle guidance, combined with her personal experience and wonderful sense of humor, lends itself whole-heartedly to reaching into the hearts and minds of those in need, leaving them with the hope and tangible knowledge of how to go on, how to help someone else go on, and what specifically does and does not work. She has also created a wide variety of support tools so that everyone will have something from which to choose that will help them continue making that journey--knowing they are never alone. Those tools are being used by thousands of people all over the world today and can be seen throughout the griefHaven website.

Susan Whitmore has a large range of capabilities in this arena, and speaks to very large, as well as small, groups. Her educational workshops are well received by all specialists who participate in them, including chaplains, hospice caregivers, medical doctors, hospital administrative staff, therapists, thanatologists, nurses, home caregivers, school/university principals and administrative staff, and teachers. To hear a complete list, please call 310-459-1789 or email us at speaking@griefHaven.org.

Susan Whitmore regularly speaks to support groups and at conferences held for parents, siblings, and other family members impacted by that child's death.
