- **Event Description**: WHAT WE'LL BE CELEBRATING

Join me for a morning of hope, healing, encouragement, and practical support as we celebrate the book launch of my memoir, Grief's Gift.

This is more than a memoir.

It's the story of walking through dementia, cancer, caregiving, grief, family conflict, and unexpected loss—and discovering that even in life's darkest seasons, God was still present.

Through laughter, tears, and the everyday challenges of caring for ageing parents, this story offers hope to anyone who has ever wondered how to keep going when life doesn't unfold as planned. 

The book also includes a practical caregiver resource section with information, tips, and guidance for people navigating aged care, dementia, caregiving, and grief. Several early readers have told me this section alone is worth having on their bookshelf.
