After losing her husband of 30 years, Maxwell-Rambie needed to go through a painful and protracted grieving process. As she allowed herself to mourn and heal, she realized there’s a lack of understanding and transparency about grief. She decided to help others through the book, noting that grief is universal, so everyone will at some point need to understand and embrace grief as a central part of life. Her book gives readers a “tool kit” of strategies and skills to help them manage grief and other challenges.
Multiple BCFS Health and Human Services’ staff members report enjoying the book, noting Maxwell-Rambie promotes the positives that can come from grief. They also say her book provides them with a way to heal a grieving heart, so they can mourn their loss, but then move ahead with happiness and purpose.
