Joanne Marks is a thanatologist who works with the dying and their families. She is a grief counsellor, has worked as an End-of-Life Doula, and volunteers with Palliative Manitoba. Marks loves working in all areas of death, dying, and bereavement care. Her focus is filling the shortage in areas of bereavement care that need more resources. Over the years, she has come to realize that there just aren't the resources for children to work out their feelings about their loss of a sibling. That gap inspired her to create Out of the Storm.
Marks lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, with her husband, son, and beloved dog, Lazer.
