What Fills Your Heart? ❤️

Dear Friends,

I’m coming into this week with a full heart and deep gratitude. I took a few days to step away and be in the sunshine with my family—in a place that holds so much of our story. The kind of place where memories live, where you can feel the people we love, and where, even in the midst of loss, there is light.

Those moments… they matter more than anything.

And they always bring me back to what I know to be true—especially when you are navigating loss or any kind of challenge:

Come back to your three anchors:

✨ Find your sunshine people — the ones who lift you, see you, and remind you who you are when you forget.

✨ Identify your shower people — the ones who can drain your energy, even if unintentionally. Awareness is everything.

✨ Lean into the sunshine and create boundaries where you need them — protect your energy, especially when you are rebuilding.

These aren’t just ideas… they are practices that carry you forward.

A special endorsement from Laura Lynne Jackson:

I’m also incredibly grateful to share a beautiful endorsement for Reimagining Grief from someone who has meant so much to me on my own journey, Laura Lynne Jackson:

“In Reimagining Grief, Kate Doerge guides the reader onto a new path through grief, using the inspiration she found in her own grief journey as a model. This is the book she wishes she had had; it is one she has written as a gift to us all.

It teaches that we are never alone on our journey, and that the path of grief, while painful, is also filled with love and connection. For anyone walking on a path of grief they never wanted to be on, this book is full of hope and light.”

- Laura Lynne Jackson, Author of NYTimes bestsellers Guided, Signs & The Light Between Us.

I’m so deeply thankful for her words, and for the opportunity to hopefully help others find a new way forward.

As we move into this new season—with longer days and more light—this is your reminder:

Take the trip.

Call your sunshine people.

Protect your energy.

And choose what fills your heart.

With gratitude,

Kate 🦋
