Writing this book was never meant to be the end of my story. It was meant to be the beginning of a conversation—a conversation about how we can heal together, how we can support each other through the inevitable losses that life brings, and how we can find meaning in our pain. Every day, I receive messages from people who have read early chapters, who have heard me speak, who have connected with this message of radical transparency. They share their own stories of loss, of struggle, of finding their way through the darkness. And each story reminds me that we are not alone in this. The journey of healing is not a destination—it’s a way of traveling. It’s about choosing, again and again, to be open to growth, to connection, to the possibility that our pain can become our purpose. This book is my invitation to you to join this conversation. To share your story. To let your scars become roadmaps for others. To believe that your experience, no matter how painful, has value and meaning. The journey continues, and I’m grateful to have you walking alongside me. Together, we can transform our individual stories of loss into a collective story of hope, healing, and the unbreakable power of the human spirit. Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for your courage to heal, to grow, and to help others do the same.
