Valerie Height joined Grief’s Journey (www.griefsjourney.org) in December 2018. Valerie holds a bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Nebraska at Kearney and a master’s degree in social work from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. A majority of her career has focused on work with the geriatric population, with an emphasis in long-term care and hospice. Valerie found her calling in the grief world when she served as the bereavement coordinator for a local hospice agency. Her passion moved her to develop grief related programs such as a children’s camp, grief symposium, and the expansion of support groups. Valerie has received various awards for her work in hospice, including the 2016 Nebraska Hospice Association – Shining STAR Award for Program Development. She has been deeply impacted by sudden and traumatic loss herself and strives to ensure that all individuals have a safe place for hope and healing in the midst of grief.
