My name is Heather and I am a mother of four children and a full time Paramedic. 

 

After the sudden death of my dad I was thrown into this unimaginable journey called grief. I learned quickly that grief is so very rarely talked about that until I experienced it myself, I had no idea how anyone around me had ever gotten through it successfully.

 

While processing my own grief, I had the challenge of trying to help my children through theirs. With a lot of patience and compassion for one another we slowly moved forward.

 

While sitting in the dark one night at work consumed by all my emotions, I began to write my feelings into my little cell phone. I poured every emotion that I had felt over the last month into that little screen. After I was finished, I looked up into the dark and in the distance I saw the words "HELLO" in digital letters on the DVD player. Over eight years I had never noticed that word displayed on that screen before. It was then I knew my dad was helping me write my story.

​

With the help of my very talented daughter Parker, we created a story that will hopefully touch others and help them through their own grief journey.

 I truly hope this book can help even one person as much as it has helped me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
