Torchbearer 
Death of a Spouse
Written for the place where everything feels like falling apart. No timelines, no pressure to move on — a steady presence for a loss that fractures identity, future, and daily life.
Books
Available now, forthcoming, and in development — clearly separated, so nothing unfinished is presented as available to buy.
Available now
When a Dog Dies
For when nothing needs fixing and words are hard to find. No stages, timelines, or expectations — steady presence, honest language, and space to breathe.
When a Cat Dies
For the empty spaces, the missing routines, and the moments you still expect them there. Presence and validation for a quiet, deeply personal bond woven into home.
When a Pet Dies
For the loss of a companion animal, whatever the species, when grief does not fit words or social expectations. No stages, fixes, or comparisons.
Disenfranchised Grief
For grief that is unseen, unacknowledged, or unsupported — losses that receive no permission and no ritual. No comparisons, and no hierarchy of pain.
When a Love Ends
For grief after the end of a meaningful relationship — separation, divorce, emotional rupture. No judgments, and no narrative about moving on.
Widowed With Young Children
For parents navigating widowhood while still showing up for young children, often with no space to fall apart. Grounding language, steady companionship, and permission to grieve while parenting.
