About

Hello! And thank you for visiting. I’m Heather and this is my blog. Its a place where I share thoughts, loves, pains and life moments.

I love that I can share them with you but some times this is a place where I tend to ramble.

Grief, coping and trying to live our best lives through loss is a common theme on this site. I have lost two little to mitochondrial disease. Please visit our About Mitochondrial Page for more info on this really pretty awful disease.

But I’m glad you’re here. Lets find some joy even when life doesn’t seem very joyful.


Let’s build something together.


I’m Heather

Welcome to Samsmom and over 15 years of stories about love, loss, grief and the process of moving forward. It’s not always pretty here, but it’s honest. I’m a writer, a fund raiser, rare disease advocate, Mom of two Littles who are no longer here, Wife of Hubs, Aunt to the Phews, daughter, friend and unapologetically me.

Let’s connect
