Susan Whitmore, CEO, Meets With Fire Fighters A Day That Changed My Life (Yet Once Again) I was asked by Captain Bob Bates to come to the fire station and talk about griefHaven. He said, “We need you…we need to know about your organization and what you do.” So I went armed with documents, grief pins, and other bits of information to share with them. But what started out as a sharing about griefHaven turned into a grief sharing from the firefighters about their own PTSD, their own trauma and grief over all that they have experienced over the many years they have fought fires, tried to save lives, walked into homes where people have died–where children have died, tried to console families, worked untold hours for the betterment of our communities, and so much more… Most of us have no idea what firefighters do for us. We think they […]

GriefHaven Supports Brakes for Brett When Brett Karlin, the beloved son of Michael and Marcie Karlin, died while “hill hopping” with his friend, Andy, his father decided it was time that other parents know about this hill hopping activity their teens may be participating in. Perhaps others would be spared the intense grief of loss they were having to endure. Plus, those teens who saw it as a fun-loving way to spend time needed to know the potential tragic consequences. So Michael, out of his love for Brett, started “Brakes for Brett.” Andy, the driver, speaks regularly with Michael. We met Michael when he called our foundation in need of love, support, and hope two weeks after Brett’s death. The message that Michael has begun to spread through Brakes for Brett has reached into the homes of thousands across this nation, and we are proud to have joined hands with […]
