Jennifer is a licensed clinical social worker in private practice at Pathway Clinic in Prairie du Sac, WI since 1998. Jennifer is also a group facilitator for Gilda’s Club of Madison. Jennifer has lived in the area since attending college in Madison. Jennifer lost her husband to leukemia in 2007 when her children were 6 and 3 years old. She has considerable insight into the challenges of raising children alone while managing her children’s grief as well as her own. This experience has drawn Jennifer to helping other children and families facing a cancer diagnosis and/or the loss of a loved one. Jennifer is presently compiling information for a “Toolkit for Young Widow/Widowers with School Age Children or Younger” for her church.
