Description

Stephanie Sarazin never imagined she would work in “the grief space” until a devastating loss flipped her world inside out. Stephanie found her way through the pain and became a writer, an accidental grief researcher, a TEDx curator, and ultimately, an experiential expert in ambiguous grief. Her book, SOULBROKEN, A Guidebook for Your Journey Through Ambiguous Grief, is a Nautilus Book Awards winner and a runaway bestseller.
