Yesterday was a challenging day. I was deep in the technical side of preparing my book for hardcover—formats, conversions, error messages… the frustrating but necessary part of authorship.
And then an email arrived that immediately changed everything.
A woman who recently purchased Caitlin’s Star asked me to inscribe it for her sister, who lost her son six months ago. She later wrote:
“I just received your book and read
through the most touching tribute one can give to/for a loved one. It is
beautiful! Thank you so much.”

“I received your beautifully written Caitlin’s Star yesterday. Loved it. The notes at the end are such a thoughtful addition.”
“That was just beautiful—TRULY. I love the whole concept of the grandma having a job and inviting Caitlin to participate. It truly is a wonderful message!”
These
aren’t just book reviews.
They are reminders of why I wrote this story in the first place.
For many families, grief is complex, especially for children. My work, whether through writing, coaching, or teaching, has always centered around helping people navigate change, loss, and new beginnings. Caitlin’s Star is simply another expression of that mission.
Hearing how this book brings comfort, connection, and healing is the kind of feedback that keeps me going, even on the difficult days.
If my work can help even one family feel less alone, then every format issue, every technical hurdle, and every long night is worth it.
