Lee / Rosanne / Rosanne's Family
I think back to six plus years ago when Lee transitioned, and I am amazed at how far I’ve come. During those dark days, I believed my life would forever be full of pain, and I would never be the same again. I mourned the loss of me along with Lee. But then I was divinely guided to Helping Parents Heal where I learned, grew, and was able to plant my feet firmly on a healing path.
The path of healing was not always smooth and it took work, but there were always people to reach out to who understood, when I needed guidance, reassurance, or simply a friend to listen. And these people are now my people, the most loving and authentic humans who I have come to love. I couldn’t imagine my life without them. People like Elizabeth, Irene, and countless others who have inspired me, guided me, and taught me.
I am honored to serve as an affiliate leader and a caring listener as well as part of a team of directors which includes Kathy McMannis and Patti May to help new AL’s get started.
I am so grateful to be part of this organization to help others as we journey together.
No, I am not the same as before. I am expansive and limitless. My heart has found joy, love, patience, forgiveness and peace. I miss Lee with every breath, thought, and fiber of my being, but I have found meaning and purpose in my life.
