I’m excited to announce that the first Let’s Talk Grief book is now available for purchase. The best way to purchase it is to visit the Let’s Talk Grief website at www.letstalkgrief.org.

After you log in, a pop-up window will appear. Click the “Purchase” button and it will direct you to the Archway/Simon and Schuster Publishing website, where you can place your order.

I’m also excited to announce that I will be publishing a third Let’s Talk Grief book. It is inspired by 10-year-old Miya Brenton, whose essay I feature in Let’s Talk Grief I. The full title is Let’s Talk Grief III: Stories of Loss, Love, and Healing for Young Hearts and will feature 50 essays from children ages 17 and under. I will co-author this book with Joan Brenton, Miya’s grandmother, whose essay I also feature in Let’s Talk Grief I. I will post an announcement soon with more information about the book, along with instructions and guidelines on how to submit an essay.

In addition to the news of a third Let’s Talk Grief book, Joan and Miya have accepted my invitation to join the Let’s Talk Grief™ Team. Their photos and bios are now posted on the About Page of the Let’s Talk Grief™ website.
