Embracing the Unknown is the candid and deeply moving story of a woman’s journey through heartbreak, grief, and self-discovery as she rebuilds a life aligned with her truest self after the death of her husband. Why was this an important book for you to write?

Any book I have ever written has been for my own healing. Writing is a way for me to deeply process and honor whatever has happened in my life – good and bad.

How did your perspective on grief and healing evolve as you wrote the book?

That perspective is an ongoing exploration and so much has continued to unfold. I can’t specifically comment on the approximately ten-month period when I wrote the book.

Was there a particular moment in the writing process that felt especially cathartic or challenging?

There was a poem I wrote about my husband’s death that was really raw and brought up a lot for me. I had initially planned to include it but eventually decided to keep it private. I reveal a lot in this book, but some things aren’t meant to be shared.

What advice would you give to someone afraid of stepping into the “unknown” in their own life?

Be deeply honest with yourself about where you are in your life and trust your heart.
