Casey Mulligan Walsh

Welcome!

I’m a wife (married to the best man I know), mother, stepmother, mother-in-law, Mimi to ten beautiful grandkids, and friend to more women and men who inspire and uplift me than I can count. Lucky me.

A retired speech-language pathologist, now I write and travel with my husband, Kevin. We’re both advocates for awareness for the FH Foundation, an organization devoted to raising awareness of familial hypercholesterolemia, the genetic cholesterol disorder that has impacted my family across generations. Please click on the link above and learn more. You may save a life.

My own life has been filled with relentless tragedy and wonderful joy, the low lows and high highs and everything in between. Along the way, I’ve seen that grief and peace can and do coexist, that what we give we receive. That, in the end, it’s all about connection. I’d be honored to walk a while with you on your own journey through this messy life.

We’re all in this together.

Trauma, Memory, and Time

It’s been a while since I’ve had something to say… though I’m guessing my husband, Kevin, might disagree. 😉 What I really mean is that I’ve felt more of a turning inward lately. In these last weeks of winter, I took a bit of a social media break and have…

Looking Back, Looking Ahead: Three Gifts from 2020, Three Promises for 2021

I had so many plans for the last month of 2020… some of which came to fruition! *My first-person account of living with FH appeared in Circulation: Genomics and Precision Medicine, a journal of the American Heart Association, and *The Beautiful Game, a hybrid essay in the narrative helix form taught…
