The night of January 14th, 2025 was truly something special. Surrounded by the warmth of familiar faces and the interest of new ones, I had the honor of presenting my new book, *Allow Me to Live My Grief… and Heal from the Inside Out*. The room was filled with compassion, love, and a shared desire to understand and transform grief. As I stood before the audience, I couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for the opportunity to share my journey and, through it, offer hope to others.
This book is not just a collection of words—it’s a piece of my heart. Inspired by the loss of my beloved mother, “Allow Me to Live My Grief…and Heal from the Inside Out” is a guide for those navigating the complex emotions of loss. It is a call to honor our grief, to feel it fully, and to heal from within.
A Personal Journey That Resonates with Many
One story that deeply touched everyone in the room was shared by Chip Corlett. Chip spoke with such raw honesty about losing his beloved Katie. His words reminded us that even in the darkest moments, there is an opportunity to reconnect with love and purpose. It was a powerful moment of connection that left no one unmoved.
