A Widow’s Awakening Book to be Released on Sept 13th by BHC Press
“My heart is beating harder and my breathing shorter. I am hugging my husband tighter and kissing him longer. I have burnt supper while reading! I have read books until wee hours of the night but I have not felt this much about a book before. What an incredibly gifted writer…I feel like I am right beside you and that I am getting to know John and your relationship together. I love how he loved you. I love your writing style, how brilliantly you tie everything together and how you authentically share your soul.”
– Kim W, A Widow’s Awakening reader

This honest look at the first year of a widow’s grief captures the immense difficulty of learning how to accept the unacceptable while transforming loss into positive change – and is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit…

“I devoured your book on a trip to Tacoma this weekend. Your raw honesty mixed with your humour had me mesmerized. It is a rare find that someone is willing to put it out there. There are so many useless and frustrating books around “grief and loss.” We went through a more than shitty experience several years back and the platitudes just made it worse. I am taking your brother’s advice that ‘just because someone tells it with conviction, doesn’t mean it’s true.’ I could go on and on.”
