Hi there! My name is Kimberly Meyer. I am currently in my 3rd round of graduate school studying to be a grief counselor with my ultimate goal being to work with children and teenagers who have lost a sibling or parent.
​
Back on November 18, 2013, my life suddenly changed when I got a phone call from my Dad telling me that my older brother was killed riding home on his bike in Brooklyn. There are days when I say that when I still can't believe that is my reality. Then 15 months later, on February 8, 2015, I got another phone call that shattered my world. This call was from a nurse from the assisted living home my mom had recently moved to. She called me to tell me that my mom died in her sleep.
​
These dual deaths set me on a career path to reach out to others who have experienced similar awful tragedies. The support I found from both my grief counselor, Jennifer Abcug, and the NYC chapter of the Compassionate Friends Sibling Support Group kept me alive and functioning to get to a place where I felt like I can help others with their pain.
​
I specifically would like to use bibliotherapy because I have always been a huge reader of books. When life has presented me with mountains to climb, my first line of attack is to hit the books. Books (both fiction and non-fiction) have helped me through the never-ending challenges of life. Books on grief made me realize I was not alone and that my feelings and thoughts were normal, instead of crazy. I want to help you realize that, too.
