I am a psychologist (Ph.D.) and thanatologist. Licensed and certified psychologist both in the USA and in Israel, and a Fellow in Thanatology (FT). I practice both in the USA and in Israel. A bereaved mother, a published author and a former professor in the USA and a lecturer in Israel. In Israel, I founded the first continuing education program in grief studies for professionals. An Israeli play "Gili" based on my book "Gili's Book" won first award of the Israeli national theatre Habimah (Theatroneto, 2005).  I plan on launching in Israel the Gili's Place – a center for bereaved children and their families
