In Her Name

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. What are you doing to help make a difference? Raising awareness doesn’t have to be complicated; small actions can create real impact:

Start conversations > Check in with someone and create space for honest, judgment-free dialogue.
Share resources > Post helpful information like the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline so others know where to turn.
Practice kindness > A simple act of compassion can go a long way for someone who may be struggling.

Awareness leads to understanding, and understanding leads to change. Let’s all do our part.

If you’re struggling, please reach out. You can call or text 988, the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, to connect with trained counselors who are available 24/7 to listen and support you.

My book, Grieving You, was written to help others navigate their grief. One of the most important things I learned through writing, researching, and creating it is that grief never truly leaves. It becomes a part of who you are. The empty spaces left behind by loss can’t be filled; instead, grief finds a way to settle into those spaces, shaping itself around every part of your being. And in that realization, I discovered something unexpected… in my grief, I see my Kathy. So I’ve learned to welcome it. It’s okay if it brings tears, sadness, or days when all I want to do is stay in bed. Because within those moments, I remember her, the sound of her voice, her little jokes, the quiet elegance of who she was. My hope is that when you read my book, you find those same moments, a way to remember, to feel close, and to hold your loved ones again within its pages.
