Our guest
today is Gwendolyn Burton, author of “You Don’t Know Just How I Feel.” The author offers a Tender Guide for Grieving Hearts After Loss: Will this excruciating pain ever end? You Don’t Know Just How I Feel seeks to connect with readers in a way that offers hope, inspiration, and courage after losing a loved one.
Author Burton asked herself this question nearly every day after her adult son, Miles, passed away from the sudden unexpected death of epilepsy (SUDEP). She believes it’s helpful to “normalize grief by discussing common challenges and misconceptions” that will offer the bereaved and their family and friends valuable insight for empathic conversations, boundaries, and support. Using her own experiences, Burton shares a relatable, honest, and compassionate approach to grief that unmasks some of life’s most sensitive issues.
