Living Through Loss: A Compassionate Guide to Healing from Grief

In the professional world, we often value composure and productivity. But as a DNP, I’ve learned that grief doesn't follow a workplace timeline. My new book, Surviving Grief, addresses the hidden side of loss in our professional and personal lives.

I share my story of returning to work and realizing that ordinary things—like an emergency room entrance—had become unbearable triggers. We need to change the conversation around grief from "fixing" to "witnessing.

If you are a leader, a caregiver, or a survivor, this guide offers tools for:

Defining Boundaries: Protecting your energy while grieving.

Honoring Loss: Carrying love forward through meaningful, quiet actions.

Support: Realizing that support looks different for everyone.

Join the conversation on how we can better support one another through life's hardest transitions.

Beyond the Five Stages: Why Grief Needs a Gentle Guide, Not a Roadmap

After losing my daughter, I realized that my clinical background as a Doctor of Nursing Practice couldn't prepare me for the "after". I wrote Surviving Grief not as an expert, but as someone who has lived grief deeply and is still learning how to carry it.

Grief is frequently misunderstood as a linear process. In this book, I explore:

The Survival Mode: How our bodies protect us through shock and detachment.

The Loneliness of Strength: Why being "resilient" for others can make the journey lonelier.

Permission to Live: Understanding that joy does not replace grief; it sits beside it.

If you are holding grief that feels too big to explain, I want you to know you are not weak. This book is my way of sitting beside you in the quiet moments.
