Pam’s Why
It is my great privilege to support the efforts of the Life Reentry® Model and its founder, Christina Rasmussen, through my position on the Board. I’m inspired by both the need and the science that drives this important work.
Although I’ve been working in the drug development space for well over twenty years, my many years of critical care nursing continuously exposed me to the stages of grief. Patients, family, and care givers all faced loss in some fashion, some more impactfully than others. While I loved the more technical parts of my job, I developed a real passion for supporting those who were trying to navigate the unfamiliar and often terrifying waters. Now having an opportunity support the movement from a seemingly endless cycle of grief to a new frame of mind is so rewarding.
So how to do this in a way that is scalable and sustainable? Focused education with a broad reach is the answer; teach the Life Reentry Model to those who are influencers …. teachers, business leaders, health care providers and military personnel to name a few. Our goal is to provide a way for all people to have the opportunity to move beyond loss to live a fulfilling life. I’m so proud to play a role in bringing this basic human need to those who will benefit.
