A memoir about love, loss, and unexpected hope
Be part of the journey before it’s released
While I was writing my children’s books, I was also walking through one of the hardest seasons of my life.
Grief’s Gift is the story behind those stories.
It’s a deeply personal journey through caring for my parents, navigating loss, and finding strength and hope in ways I never expected.
If this is a story that might resonate with you, I’d love to invite you to join my VIP Early Bird Club.
As a member, you’ll receive:
behind-the-scenes updates as the book comes together
early looks at final decisions (and the chance to have your say)
first access when the book is released
a few special extras along the way
Don't worry, I won't be flooding your inbox with emails - although you will get quite a few during the week I release my book.
what people are saying
Testimonials from early beta readers of Grief's Gift.
“Grief's Gift is the most honest, raw, authentic memoir I have ever read. Through her gift with the written word, Carmen brings her readers into her inner sanctum, sharing her thoughts and feelings in a chain of traumatic events that led to loss and overwhelming grief. She bares her soul in the hope of helping others dealing with such major life challenges.”
— Fiona L.“The book helped me to better understand the ongoing nature of grief. I would recommend this book to everyone! We all have several experiences in our hearts that God can weave golden threads of hope, love, and faith around them, making them even more beautiful!”
— Janet A.“I love how the author writes in a way that gently pulls you out of your own reality and into hers. By the end of the book, I didn’t feel like I was just holding myself together with tighter bandages. I felt something had actually begun to heal. For the first time in a long time, I felt safe to feel exactly what I was feeling — because someone else had felt it too.”
— Darlene A.
