I’ve written two books born out of lived grief — from that hollow place where the silence that often follows loss feels suffocating. What I needed most wasn’t advice or platitudes, but the presence of words that could encourage and comfort me when others could not. I created my White Noise grief book and guided journal so that others in mourning could have something meaningful to return to in the weeks and months after loss, when the cards stop coming and life moves on. 

I now place this work in the hands of those already standing closest to the bereaved — pastors, funeral directors, chaplains — offering them a way to extend their presence and care long after the service has ended to those who need it most.
