Margaret and Glenn were high school sweethearts and started dating in 1989. They suffered many losses including their daughter, Madelynn, was born still on May 12, 2009 at 39+ weeks gestation. They lost 9 pregnancies, 3 of which were twins. Madelynn’s twin died at 10 weeks gestation. They decided very early in their grief journey to turn their pain to purpose. They lived in New Jersey where Margaret joined the TEARS Foundation and developed the Center for Pregnancy and Infant Loss.
Margaret is a Certified Reiki Master Teacher and is also a recipient of the Death and Grief Studies Certificate through Dr. Wolfelt’s Center for Loss and Life Transition, in Colorado. Currently Margaret is the Director of Emotional Support for the TEARS Foundation and has developed programs all over the world, including Kenya and Uganda. She works compassionately with hospitals, funeral homes, nurses and other compassionate care advocates to be representatives of The TEARS Foundation. Margaret has a passion for healing, and has been touched by suicide, drug related deaths, terminal diagnosis as well as many other circumstances. She believes in spreading love and kindness and continue to help others especially when their trauma is not visible.
Margaret received her BA degree in Psychology at Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida and is working towards her Masters degree for counseling.
