Help Someone Grieving

“Michele’s writings have helped me in so many ways. One thing she taught me is that grief has no time limit. It’s okay to grieve, even after 2 years. As long as you don’t wallow in it. It can hit you at any time and anywhere. She has helped a few of my relatives as well. She has a beautiful gift.”
