In the powerful conclusion of Holly's story, we explore how devastating loss became the catalyst for pursuing her lifelong dream of writing.

Despite struggling with dyslexia and being told writing wasn't for her, Holly channeled her grief into creating children's books that help families navigate loss and maintain connections with loved ones who have passed.
