Kathryn Kazoleas

Kathryn lost her husband Chris to Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2014 when she was 28 years old. Her experiences as a wife, caregiver, and now as a widow, have given her a deep understanding of the realities of caregiving, loss, and learning to move forward while living with grief. Professionally, she is registered nurse and certified nurse psychotherapist (qualifying) with experience supporting individuals through illness, caregiving, grief, and life's difficult transitions. Her graduate nursing research explored the long-term experience of grief experienced by young widows, and for the past nine years she has facilitated grief support groups for those experiencing the loss of a spouse, parent, and sibling. When Kathryn isn’t working, you can find her with her two dogs and two cats, somewhere quiet with a good book, or catching up on the latest reality television.
