SOAKING UP SUMMER 🦋

As these last weeks of summer unfold, I’m feeling especially grateful for the places that hold so many memories, the people I love, and the opportunity to keep sharing   Reimagining Grief.

August is Grief Awareness Month, and this month has been such a beautiful reminder of something I believe deeply: we can hold grief and joy in the same space. I’ve celebrated my birthday, spent time with family and friends, laughed a lot, and carried the people I miss right alongside me.

AUGUST MOMENTS 💫

I started on Fishers Island, in the movie theater where I grew up, talking about  Reimagining Grief with one of my best friends, Lea Carpenter. It was deeply personal and truly full circle.

Then on to East Hampton Authors Night, where I was so inspired to be among more than 100 incredible authors signing books and supporting the East Hampton Library.

From there, Newport for a beautiful conversation surrounded by friends, and finally Watch Hill, Rhode Island another place filled with so many memories and meaning.

Through it all, I’ve been soaking up these last summer days and continuing to choose joy while making room for the grief. 🦋

THE CONVERSATION CONTINUES 🎙️

I’m so grateful for my recent conversation on Heal with Kelly, and the Seeking Center Podcast. This week I’ll be joining my dear friend Norah O’Donnell for another meaningful conversation on her health podcast. I continue to be amazed by where this book is taking me and even more by the conversations and connections it is creating.

GOODREADS GIVEAWAY 📚

In honor of Grief Awareness Month, I’m giving away 10 copies of Reimagining Grief on Goodreads. The giveaway closes August 20, so there are just a few days left to enter. I hope the book finds its way to someone who needs a little more hope, strength and light.

Keep reaching for the light. 🦋

With love,
Kate
