Grief is a universal human experience, one that transcends age, gender, and background. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a cherished pet, or even the death of a dream, grief can be an overwhelming and complex emotion. In the first post in this blog post I want to discuss how starting therapy can be a valuable tool in this journey.

Welcome to my blog series, “Navigating Grief - the Compassionate Journey of Healing.” Grief is a universal experience, and each of us encounters it in our own way, influenced by our unique backgrounds and circumstances. Whether you’re seeking guidance through your own grief or aiming to support someone on their journey, this series is designed to be a beacon of understanding and solace.

Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences we can go through in life, and the sudden death of a spouse or loved one can be especially devastating. Coping with grief and healing after such a loss can feel overwhelming and impossible, but with time and the right support, it is possible to move forward and find a sense of peace while still living with the grief that will always exist. While everyone’s journey is unique, there are some universal strategies that can help you find peace after such a devastating loss.

Even though this is supposed to be my professional CV and research site, I felt as if this post was just as important as any of the others. I’m not sure if I’d ever be able to say these words, but here goes…

Phewwwwww what a year 2022 has been… I feel like we say this every every year but boy I can’t wait for 2023. 2023 is going to be my year, I can feel it! As with any of my other posts, I totally expect no one to read this and I’m writing it for myself. But if you do read it, I hope you enjoy it! Here a recap of Max’s 2022

I’m thrilled to say that I’ve been selected and added to the OutCare Health Mentorship directory! Mentors in the OutCare Health make themselves available to offer school, career, or research advice, and guidance on many other life pursuits to LGBTQ+ students and professionals.

Inspired by projects like The Setup, and from Fred Hohman (where I forked this Github site from) here is the stuff I personally use day to day.

FINALLY DONE! Today’s the day I graduate with my Doctorate in Healthcare Administration from the Medical University of South Carolina! It was quite the journey from start to finish, I made a group of lifelong friends and colleagues, and I’m excited to see what the future holds. I was also so excited to finally bring my Mom to Charleston and take her and my family to all of my favorite places I’ve been over the past few years.
