.By the time I was 48, I was already widowed twice. The first time shattered my worldview and left me struggling to find meaning in life. I was 28 and had never lost someone in my life. I was clueless how I was supposed to go on. It took over 2 years struggling to finally get to the point I’d had enough, and I made the choice to live again.
When I finally said, “ENOUGH!” I started to change my own narrative. I fell in love again, married, adopted children and then… the unthinkable. I was widowed again, now with two children.
But this time, I had knowledge. I had life experiences. I had already learned how to grieve, and live, and I used those lessons in that next chapter of my journey.
The memoir that started it all: Life After Losses: A Memoir of Self-Healing is my profoundly personal story of resilience and optimism in the face of death and grief. With an authenticity to tell it like it is, I take you with me on my grief journey, sharing practical advice, reassurance, and guidance along the way.
I share what worked and what didn’t work my first time … which informed me while managing to get through it a second time.
Moving Past Grief: A Collection of Stories and Strategies to Help You Heal was borne from a need to share more strategies toward healing on this grief journey. Covering the early days, day-to-day coping skills, and moving into healing.
Grief Recovery for Adults: Mastering the Art of Healing and Renewal After Loss with Compassionate Strategies for Emotional Wellness and Finding a Renewed Sense of Purpose is the newest book. In it, I introduce you to the PURPOSE framework, designed to personalize your healing journey. This one is less about me, and more about customizing your journey.
At some point in time, every one of us deals with loss. And we need to learn how to do so because, frankly… life does go on.
A job. A pet. A boyfriend. A girlfriend. A parent… A spouse. I lost 2, which I wrote about in Life After Losses: A Memoir of Self-Help. I learned how to live again after my losses, and my mission is to help you find that you can live your life… regardless of losses.
