SARA RUBLE
Sara Ruble, Stow, Ohio is the mother of Scott Michael Jessie. In 1994,
Scott, who was Sara’s only child, died suddenly of natural causes. He was only
nineteen years old and the love of her life. Scott’s death was a life changing
event for Sara. Being thrust into grief tested her daily. It has been a very
difficult, but increasingly meaningful journey.
Sara facilitated a bereaved parents group for many years. As she helped
other parents with their grief, she continued to learn more about parental grief
and assimilating Scott’s death into her life.
In 2001, Sara founded the Christmas Box Angel of Hope Children’s Memorial
in Stow as she continued to reach out to other bereaved parents.
She has been a presenter at several national bereavement conferences.
Sara believes her story and experiences can be used a guide to believing and
trusting that our loved ones are still very much a part of our lives.
DENEENE FLORINO
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Deneene received her formal education at
DePaul University, graduating with degrees in psychology, biology, and
theology. For almost a decade, Deneene worked as a Hospice Spiritual Care
and Bereavement Counselor. She also had a private practice that included
spiritual life coaching, grief counseling, and therapeutic touch. After working
with hospice she took out time for introspection and authored The Angel Tales:
Refuge for a Parents Healing Heart and a Childrens book, Ariel &
Alexander: The Biggest Adventure.
At an early age, Deneene faced grief many times over. She learned to see
through what most people would consider unbearable situations and transcend
these experiences to their true spiritual meaning. By sharing this gift with
people, she sends them on their way feeling hopeful, lighter, and renewed.
Emboldened with a sense of their true purpose, they are able to resonate with
their individual circumstances instead of feeling subjected to them.
