I started to write about death and dying shortly after my first husband died. I didn't know what to do with all of the sadness I had, so I poured out my heart on page after page for days and weeks and months and years. I didn't know it would take so long to find my way through grief, and when I was done, I wanted to share what I learned. These books are a compilation of my journey over the years. The main book, Dancing with Death is essentially a memoir. The companion books allow the reader to explore the season of grieving a little bit further.
