  • Chris Johansson

    Chris created a website called Grief in Practice, which has many of the resources and information that helped her throughout the dark times after her wonderful 20-year-old nephew died suddenly and unexpectedly. Some of Chris’ work includes an online class called “Grief Survival School”, which provides practical help for how to cope with all aspects of life following a terrible loss. Chris is also currently working on a class to train helping professionals to understand and work with grief more skillfully.

  • Amber Bradbury

    Amber Bradbury was inspired to write “If Grandma Were Here” by two very separate emotions… joy and sorrow. Joy in experiencing the loving relationships she had with her mother, paternal and maternal great-grandmothers, and grandmothers growing up. And sorrow, due to the tragic loss of her mother—from a random act of violence—that deprived her kids of their grandmother, and all the experiences Amber wished they could have had together if she were still alive today.
