After Ken died, everything felt unfamiliar. Writing became the one place that still made sense.

Some of these essays began as raw blog posts written in the middle of hospice and the long, quiet after. For this book, I revisited, reshaped, and tightened them. But I also did something new. At the end of every essay, I added an author’s note. The present-day me looking back at the man who first wrote those words. Connecting the dots. Naming what I did not yet understand.

I think of The Luck We Carry as a map of my own grief. Not a map anyone else has to follow. But maybe a marker. A signpost that says, someone else has stood here. You are not as alone as you feel.

If you’re walking through loss, my hope is that this book meets you wherever you are and reminds you that you will be okay.

The e-book is available for pre-order now, and the paperback releases on March 23. I would love for you to reserve your copy and join my newsletter so we can stay connected as this book makes its way into the world.
