Susan's help was so essential to my healing and I just shared one of her pearls of wisdom on "Splitting" with a friend today. I am so grateful for the contact we had and her two amazing books and her Mean Lady Talking podcast. What a wonderful woman and what a legacy. Long may she be remembered with joy xxx
OMG I found some old Wordpress articles I had printed out that were life saving to me during my breakup in 2009. I was very helped by Susans style of thinking ! She encouraged and guided me with brand new perspective. I am so grateful that her life touched mine and I grieve with family and friends for her loss.

I found Susan through her blog 2007 and she was there for me as a grief counceller in a way no one else has been or will be.  Still use  what I learned on a day-to day- basis and  also keep her close to heart until this day. 

Rest in Peace Susan 🙏

I was a client of Susan's first as a reader, and then through her bootcamp.   She offered a point of view about grief, loss, attachment trauma and inner work that I have found no where else.  Her counseling and bootcamp brought me to health and to sanity after a devastating breakup.    Thank you Susan for your wit and wisdom - may your light shine brightly throughout space and time.
I only just learned about Susan a few months ago. I read both of her books, the first of which multiple times. I don't know what my future holds, but I know that if it holds love it is completely thanks to her. She is still helping people like me.

I met Susan at a Yankees meet up event, of all places! We hit it off. I work in theater and she loved the theater. We got together occasionally and when Michael got sick, we sent emails to each other. We managed to have lunch a few times, trying new places. She was so supportive and loving. My heartfelt condolences to all of you. Family was the most important thing. And true love is possible. Rest well, my friend. Thank you for your gifts.
I remember when I was the Dean of Students and you were a law student.  We had a number of great interactions.  And then, after you graduated, we continued to interact as you moved forward professionally and personally.  I was always moved by our relationship and feel such deep sorrow about your all-too-early death.  
Susan, forever grateful. Her willingness to help others after so many years, that is passion. Her podcast and books  helped me in ways no one could.  I hope she is in a wonderful place with her husband. Thank you Susan for everything. 💕 
Susan touched my life through a therapist and I can’t put into words the changes she made in my life. Her strength and care she put into her material reached out and touched so many lives. Her words and expletives she shared will live on through all who loved her. Thank you for everything. 
I knew Susan in law school, where we were both older students, and was always in awe of her brilliance and compassionate energy. Susan was an extraordinary presence, and the world is poorer without her. I was deeply grieved to learn of her passing and can only imagine the loss her children are experiencing. Take care of each other.
Susan and I belonged to the Dinosaur Club at Berkeley Law, for students over 30. Her amazing personality, good humor, intellect, and compassion drew me toward her. We stayed in touch through the years, including messaging a few months ago about my memoir release. I wish she hadn't left us so early. And send my condolences to her family and friends.
Susan and I went to law school together.  I was one of the straight-out-of-college kids in our class, and she came in with this wealth of life experience and wisdom that made us all better and smarter, and that instantly put everything in perspective.  I’ll especially remember her kindness to me… an artistic, headstrong, yet sensitive guy who loved her New York realness, her unwillingness to settle for conventional wisdom, and her amazing laugh that filled the halls and brightened our spirits.  Thank you, Susan, for your presence in our lives… we’re all grateful to have known you.
Susan your life was not in vain - your work helped so many of us - we learned how to be strong and love ourselves because of your example. You delivered our lessons in your own unique way - your humor while tears were rolling down my face was soothing and enlightening. You built a legacy 🙏 we are better from your existence in this world ❤️

Susan changed my life. I will miss

her deeply. 

I so hope there is an afterlife and she is now riding Harley's with Michael.  She left us way too soon but what a legacy she has left!  
My heart is breaking for the loss of this wonderful person who helped so many of us. I am so very grateful that I got to know Susan's teachings, hear her podcast and message with her. Sending so much love to her friends and family and feeling blessed to be part of the community she helped to heal.
Susans voice and advice carried me through a traumatic breakup of my long marriage. I still say her catch phrases 6 years later. She is a huge loss to her family and to those of us she helped with her sensible tough advice. RIP Susan xx
I’m heartbroken to hear of Susan’s passing, she was such an inspiration to me , theres not a few days that go by when I’m not quoting her. I’m happy she can now be with Michael, the love of her life. 
Susan’s words healed me in so many ways, an amazing woman, so sorry she is gone.
I’m so very sorry to hear of Susan’s passing.   She was very much loved and respected by so many of us in her Facebook family.   She helped me through the toughest period of my life and I find myself sharing what she taught me with others often.   I never did get to “meet” you in person Susan but I’ll continue living what you taught me and sharing “Susanisims” down here in New Zealand.   I was going to contact you last week with the news that my 3am person really proved himself to me during our flooding.  I know that you will receive the information if I send it out to the universe but I’m so sad that I didn’t get to tell you in person.  My pledge to you is to continue working the program because you helped me believe that I truely matter and I deserve what you had with Michael.   May you and Michael ride among the stars together.
A fierce, rare, raging supernova of hard-won wisdom and love. Susan re-mothered so many of us to heal so we could hope to live and love as she did. I feel blessed to have crossed paths with her and as sad as her friends and family are to lose her physical presence, I love knowing she is reunited with Michael - an eternal love ❤️

So sorry to hear about Susan’s passing, Condolences to her family.  I Read two of her books and they helped me tremendously.  She was truly inspirational and helped many many people.  Rest in peace Susan.
I’m so so sorry to see this news. I’m from England and discovered Susan through her books after my divorce. Susan offered wonderful guidance that I frequently share with others. As part of her Facebook group she was tremendously encouraging towards me when I began writing as a way of processing what I was going through. Susan had a big impact on me and countless others and will be sadly missed. Rest In Peace Susan and love to family and friends at this sad, sad time.
