Healing while Hurting

<p><strong style=color: rgba(28 30 33 1)><em>Healing while Hurting is a book about grief and growth. I have been writing ever since I could hold a pen. I have always found writing as a way to express myself. My love of poetry started in the fourth grade thanks to my teacher Barbara Schmidt. In my first ever self-published book I have gathered some of my poems and reflections directly from my Facebook posts and journals. Over the last 6 years after losing my dad to liver cancer this has helped me with my grieving and healing process. This book is about honor remembrance reflection and sharing my truth- in hopes to help others feel brave enough to accept their true feelings and thoughts when dealing with grief. I hope you will follow me on this journey that is always ending and beginning again. This book is another step in my healing process and I hope my experiences can help at least one person out there.</em></strong></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(28 30 33 1)><em> If you leave with anything I hope you leave with knowing it is ok to not be ok. And it is ok to be ok. All of your feelings when grieving and healing are valid.</em></strong></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(28 30 33 1)><em>There is no wrong or right way through this. </em></strong></p><p><br></p>
