My Story…
Our journey with Lighthouse started 11 years ago when we had to say goodbye to an amazing man and Daddy - Stew Drummond. I was a lost solo parent with a 2 & 5 year old that needed support in our new world. As soon as I walked into the Lighthouse, I felt
"held". As the kids and I started attending, it became another home for us. We couldn't wait to get there and see our new friends. It was finally a place in our world where we weren't being looked at with sympathy eyes but with welcoming and understanding eyes.
My kids weren't labelled as "the kids that lost their dad", they were looked at as Avery & Aidan.
We were able to create a new understanding of grief and how we were going to redefine our new family situation. We learnt how to celebrate their Dads life and we decided that we were going to live for him and for us. We couldn't have gotten to where we are today without the love and support from our Lighthouse family.
