Still Curious

I know what it’s like when life doesn’t turn out the way you expected. Every week, I share what I’ve learned about grief, healing, happiness, purpose—and figuring out what comes next.
One new story every Sunday. Right to your mailbox.
Honest reflections on loss, life, happiness, purpose, and everything we figure out along the way.
By the time I was 48, I had already been widowed twice.
The first time, I was 28 and had never lost anyone close to me. I had no idea how to grieve, much less how to imagine a life beyond it. For more than two years, I struggled to find my way forward. Eventually, I reached a point when one word kept coming back to me: ENOUGH!
Not enough grief. Not enough love. Not enough time.
Enough of letting what had happened determine what happened next.
I began making different choices. Eventually, I fell in love again. I married, adopted two children, and built a life I never could have imagined during those first years of grief. Then, the unthinkable happened again.
But somewhere along the way, my story stopped being only about what I’d lost.
I became interested in what happens after we survive the things we thought we couldn’t. How we find happiness again. How our priorities change. How we decide what matters now. And how we build a life that actually feels like ours.
That’s what Life After Losses has become.

Have you ever stood in the middle of a store, staring at two nearly identical products, and just… couldn’t decide? It sounds almost ridiculous saying it out loud. It’s just
Loss comes in a lot of forms.
Sometimes it’s someone we love. Sometimes it’s a relationship, a career, a dream, the future we thought we were building—or simply a version of ourselves that no longer fits.
Whatever brought you here, I’m interested in what happens next.
How do we carry forward what matters without allowing the past to decide everything that comes next? How do we rediscover happiness? How do we figure out what matters now? How do we keep growing?
Those are the conversations we’re having here.
My three books approach loss and healing from different places—personal experience, practical strategies, and a framework for finding your own way forward.
