“This book is a must-read. For widows, it’s a reminder you’re not alone. For friends and family, it’s a guide to showing up in grief. And for end-of-life professionals, it offers a powerful window into the emotional world of caregivers—the often unseen heroes at life’s end.”

"This book is a must-read for parents—not only for a glimpse into the reality of losing a partner while raising young kids, but also as a guide to better prepare for that most unwanted “what-if” turn of events."

"Through her journey, Lori shares important lessons on dealing with grief that will resonate with anyone who has faced loss, reminding us that even after the storm, the light can return. This book touched my heart in a way I was not expecting. A great and valuable read for sure!"
