I am getting messages as people read my book, such as this one: “It’s powerful, poetic, honest, beautiful to read and a book many people will relate to and seek comfort from.”
.
Thank you for reading and sending me messages. And if you want to know who ‘Beauty in the Ashes: Learning to Lament’ is for, I wrote this for you. You who are going through the hard days of grief. You who don’t know how to exist anymore in this place of pain and loss. You who are trying to understand, and navigate, and just get through the next step.
.
The words may be mine, but they are for you. May they give you grace for your journey.

One of the most amazing gifts for me, as I have followed my heart into the craft of writing, is the people I have met along the way. So many beautiful creatives, and my life is so much richer for it.
.
One of my greatest joys is writing for @kinwomen . I love their philosophy of starting conversations that matter.
.
So many of the Kin Writers were at my launch on Thursday, #womenencouragingwomen is the most amazing thing.

PS: My latest Kin blog is up today click through link in bio. Oh and if you want to purchase my book, link is in bio there too 😉

Why a book on lament? Why “Beauty in the Ashes”?
.
I believe in the power of words. I believe in the power of story. I believe in the sacred sharing of our hard stories that we can see that we are not alone. .
Because grief comes to us all.
.
And as a society, particularly in our western culture we want to skip the grief and go straight to the healing. .
And what I have learnt, what I share in this book, is that the journey through grief is not linear, you don’t experience pain then healing. .
Healing is not something that follows when grief is over.
.
For grief is never over.
.
Healing is something that comes in the midst of grief, the hurt and the healing are intertwined.

Launch day flowers, because my friends know #imusthaveflowersalwaysandalways .
So excited to officially launch “Beauty in the Ashes: Learning to Lament” this evening. 📖🎉❤️

Launch day for Beauty in the Ashes is tomorrow. I have been feeling all the feels this week. Huge excitement and massive vulnerability. In the midst of my highs and lows, this beautiful gift arrived from a gorgeous interstate friend along with the most encouraging card.
.
I am not overstating things at all to say this book would not have been written (or published) without the encouragement of so many. Thank you for encouraging me on my journey 💛
