I am so honored to announce that my story, How to Breathe, has been published in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Grieving, Loss, and Healing! It's available now at your local bookstore or online: https://bit.ly/3GHgOFe

When I was grieving, I remember searching everywhere for guidance on a topic few felt comfortable discussing. This book provides that guidance and is an excellent resource that offers compassion, understanding, and comradery during a time of loss. My story is full of hope, humor, and advice from teachers who unknowingly helped on my path towards healing. I hope you enjoy it and that it becomes a companion for you on your own unique journey.
