For over 21 years, I supported people with intellectual and developmental disabilities — many of whom had no family, no voice, and no one to hold their hand at the end.
I've sat at bedsides in silence. I've whispered final words. I've witnessed the sacred moment when someone takes their last breath — and the quiet chaos that follows for those left behind.
So when I lost my father — and later, my mother — I knew all too well how heavy grief could be. But this time, I had something most don't: access to the aftercare program my husband, Stephen, had created. It allowed me to handle everything — notifications, forms, and next steps- calmly and clearly from home.
That experience changed me.
And it became my calling.
Today, as Harmony Officer, I bring peace to the aftermath of loss. I design gentle systems that support families in their most challenging moments and ease the burden on the professionals who serve them.
At Aftercare Partner, we don't just handle tasks.
We honour transitions. We hold space.
And we believe that genuine care doesn't end at goodbye — it evolves.

"I didn’t start Aftercare Partner to build a vendor service; I started it to solve a critical gap in the Ontario funeral profession.
Having navigated the 'quiet chaos' of estate settlement myself, I realized that the time between the final service and the estate's closure is when a firm’s reputation is truly cemented. My wife, Lynda, and I founded Aftercare Partner to ensure that this final chapter is handled with the same precision and dignity that families receive during the arrangement.
