A KINDNESS I WILL NEVER FORGET
Before the misadventures, before the restaurant, before the reinvention, there was this.
At 33, Lisa came home to find her husband collapsed on the kitchen floor. She tried to save him. She couldn't. And suddenly, she was a widow with a 2-year-old and a newborn, walking into a future she never imagined facing alone.
This isn't a story about "getting over" grief. It's a story about the small acts of kindness that appeared exactly when she needed them, from strangers, from community, from circumstances that somehow aligned at the darkest moments. It's about discovering reserves of strength you didn't know you had. And it's about how love, even when it's gone, carries you forward.
Raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful, this is the book that started it all.
PERFECT FOR READERS WHO:
Are processing loss of any kind, a spouse, parent, relationship, or chapter of life
Want honest writing about grief that doesn't rush to a tidy resolution
Need to see that joy is possible after devastating loss
Are supporting someone through their own grief journey
Appreciate vulnerability paired with genuine resilience

PRAISE FROM READERS
★★★★★
“As a grief group facilitator, I was interested in how the author would tell her story of losing her husband suddenly … The author's honesty is refreshing, and gives us permission to grieve - when the time comes - as we want, not how someone tells us we should.”
— Katherine Larson, Amazon
★★★★★
“The author is a wonderful storyteller. Although grief is a central theme and is a heavy one, I came away from it feeling uplifted (and also shed buckets of tears along the way). I appreciate the honesty she uses sharing the kaleidoscope of emotions and complicated family interactions that she encountered in the wake of her husband’s sudden death.”
— Autumn Nazarian, Amazon
★★★★★
“If you know anyone that has experienced loss, I encourage you to share this book with them. And I think it shows great examples of all the ways you can extend help to people who are grieving or experiencing other loss.”
— Vicki Fisher, Amazon
