From the Author A little about me, dear readers: Yep, I'm a believer - when life gives me lemons, I believe I can make lemonade. And I believe in the power of positive energy, in being kind to each other, in learning every day, and in the color yellow. I learned as I wrote my first book, We Lost Her, that I loved bringing a story of hope to you. So, I decided to try again. To write another that could, maybe, make a difference in this world, help me and you, dear reader, to learn and to bring kindness to each other. Heartbroken - Grief and Hope Inside the Opioid Crisis is not about my personal journey, but it is personal to me now. And to so many families in our country. The opioid crisis has taken so many lives - it must stop. Those that have lost loved ones to addiction often feel stigma even in their grief. That must stop, too. Heartbroken helped me to learn so much and I hope it will help you, too. From the Back Cover "I was moved by this beautiful yet thoughtprovoking book.
