I’ve been keeping a secret.
For months, I’ve been quietly working on a project that has stretched my heart, my memory, and my hope for how we show up for each other in the hardest seasons of life.
And now, it’s here.

I Wish There Was Something I Could Do: A Practical Guide to Supporting Grievers is officially out in the world.
This book isn’t a memoir. It’s not my grief story.
It’s a guide for the people who love someone who’s grieving.
The ones who want to help but don’t know what to say.
The ones who whisper, “I wish I knew what to do,” and mean it.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Language that comforts instead of harms
- Practical ways to lighten someone’s load
- Real stories from people who have walked this road
- The Five Pillars of Compassionate Grief Support, my framework for showing up in a way that matters
If you’ve ever stood on the edge of someone’s heartbreak and felt helpless, this book is for you.
