Books & Guides
Some of what I write is meant to be read once. These are meant to be kept nearby and returned to. Each grows out of the same conviction that runs through The Emergent Self: we become who we are in relationship, and we heal the same way.

Living with Loss
A personal guide to grief, relationship, and meaning. Free.
Whether a death happened last month or many years ago, this guide is a companion for the life you are living now. It will not ask you to find a lesson in the loss or prove that you have grown stronger. It offers stories, questions for your notebook, practical ways to ask for help, and plain guidance on when and where to find support.
- Places to begin, chosen by what you need today, with no required order
- Help with difficult feelings, significant dates, and ordinary days
- Pages on the death of a child and on relationships others overlook
- Ways to ask for specific help, and where to look when support is missing

Coming soon: Emergent Lives, A Coloring Journal
A coloring journal for anyone standing in the middle of a life transition. Each page pairs a drawing to color with a short reflection drawn from my Emergent Lives workbook: masks and mirrors, thresholds, and the roots that hold us up. Subscribers will see the first sample pages before anyone else.
