The retreats and workshops allow people to come together and share their grief journey. Her podcast, Family Flowers Only, gives people space to share their stories in a gentle and beautiful way.

Tragedy struck Kathie's family when she lost her brother-in-law in a tragic accident and then his wife, her sister, a year later.
