Desiree Woodland and her husband Gary live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ryan will always live in their hearts, while their daughter and amazing son-in-law live in Portland, Oregon with their fur baby. Retired after nineteen years of teaching, she received a master's level certificate in Grief and Loss from Southwestern College in Santa Fe. She first began presenting lessons to youth in Albuquerque schools after Ryan's suicide to provide them with the language to talk openly about mental illness and suicide.
