In her new book Shining a Light on Grief: Real Women Sharing Real Stories of Loss and Love, grief coach Susan Lataille has collected stories from 11 women that each have a unique perspective and story to tell. Through these moving and inspiring stories of loss, the reader will come to better understand these disorienting, heartbreaking, yet natural moments in these women’s lives.

Through her own grief following the loss of her son Nathan in 2017, Lataille discovered that when someone is available to listen, the consequences for both can be genuinely useful, healing and profound. The stories will provide hope and inspiration to those living alongside grief, and they are a reminder that we are never alone when we face the tragic loss of a loved one. 

Contributing writers include Diane M. Caine, Wendy Juergens, Lisa Medley, Elizabeth Phinney, Joanne Sapers, Carleen DeSisto, Catherine DeOrsey, Patrice McKinley, Carrie Beers and Barbara Barry.
