A hospice nurse for 13 years, Lorna considers herself a messenger, called to spread the word that death can be well planned, celebratory, and often faith affirming.  As  the dying share with those they trust what they see in their final  moments, hospice staff are in a unique position to gather & share these amazing events.  Compiling these insights resulted in the HAPPY ENDINGS Uplifting End of life Stories and MORE HAPPY ENDINGS books. 

When touched by grief herself, Lorna used her knowledge of yoga to apply it's ancient balancing principles to the divergent population who struggle with grief & loss.  Yoga teaching experiences with students with MS, arthritis, stroke & in wheelchairs was her motivation in the co-authoring, GENTLE YOGA in the 1980's.   Calling upon this adaptive background, Lorna has designed YOGA FOR A GRIEVING HEART for hospice 

caregivers and people of all ages who struggle through the long journey of bereavement.  

Children and their unique responses to grief is of particular interest to Lorna.  Facilitating a Yoga component at Grief Camps is has been very rewarding.  She also serves on the Minister of Consolation team of her church. 

Lorna & her husband live in Dallas, where they garden, canoe, ballroom dance and visit their 4 grown children & 8 grandchildren.
