\\n\\nFROM HER WEBSITE:
\\n\\n"Having gone through the experience of the poor health leading to the death of two husbands, as well as the deaths of my father, mother, sister, aunts, and uncles as well as many friends, I have much experience in the grieving process, and I have learned to face life with love, optimism, and joy.
\\n\\nI have kept journals and written to express myself most of my life. This led me to a career of teaching writing and writing books. So, after my second husband died, I naturally turned to writing to help deal with my grief. Then I discovered that I could use writing to help friends deal with grief, too. My new book,\\xa0Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief: A Comprehensive Guide to Reclaiming and Cultivating Joy and Carrying on in the Face of Loss, provides guidance for navigating the downs and ups of that unfamiliar territory.
\\n\\nI spend my time now writing and teaching others to write to deal with all kinds of loss. And when I am not writing, I am enjoying the beauty of Maui.
\\n\\nEmily is a Grief Transformation Expert and holds a Master\\u2019s Degree in English with a Concentration in Writing. She has been teaching writing and composition on the college and university level over 30 years. During that time, she published three writing textbooks. with Prentice Hall and Pearson Education."
