The virtual Book Launch Party will take place on Wednesday, April 29, from 12:30 to 1:45 PM ET/ 9:30 to 10:45 AM PT for team members.

You are someone who shows up for others in their most difficult moments. Whether you are a financial advisor guiding clients through life-altering decisions, or a trusted friend or family member sitting beside someone whose world has just changed, you understand the weight of that responsibility. I wrote Life After Grief: Holding the Numbers with Shaking Hands—When Money, Trauma, Grief, and Racism Collide for people like you, and I would be honored to have you on my book launch team.

I have spent countless hours with people in offices, hospital rooms, and living rooms where the air felt heavy with shock, fear, and heartbreaking uncertainty. In those moments, most of us are never taught what to say, how to be present, or how to balance the practical "numbers" with the very real, very human pain in front of us.

That is why I wrote this book. It is a guide for navigating the emotional and financial realities of loss—so you can be the steady presence others lean on when everything else feels unsteady.

How You Can Help

When you join the launch team, you are doing far more than helping to "promote a book." You are helping the right people find a vital resource at the exact time they need it most. Here is how you can make a difference:

• Write a short Amazon review: Your honest review is the single most powerful way you can support this book. It acts as social proof, telling potential readers, "This is worth your time. This might help." A thoughtful 2–3 sentence review can be the deciding factor in whether someone chooses to click "Buy now" or keeps searching.

• Post about the book on social media: You don't need a large following to have an impact. A simple, authentic post—sharing a resonant idea, a meaningful quote, or how the book changed your perspective on grief—can reach the exact person who needs it today. I will provide sample posts that you can easily customize.

• Engage with others talking about the book: Your likes, comments, and shares on posts from me and other launch team members increase the book's visibility. Every small interaction helps it reach more advisors, caregivers, and loved ones who are supporting someone through grief.

What You'll Receive as a Launch Team Member

I deeply value your time and trust, and I want to equip you with everything you need to share this book with confidence and ease. As a member, you will receive:

• A digital advance review copy (ARC): You’ll get early digital access to Life After Grief: Holding the Numbers with Shaking Hands—When Money, Trauma, Grief, and Racism Collide weeks before its official publication, allowing you to read, reflect, and highlight what resonates with you.

• Early access to bonus content: Be the first to see additional tools and resources that expand on the book's concepts, designed to help you support others with greater depth and clarity.

• Gentle review prompts: Never stare at a blank screen. I will send simple, thoughtful prompts to help you craft a meaningful, 2–3 sentence Amazon review that feels natural and authentic.

• Sample social media posts: You will receive ready-to-use templates you can copy, paste, and personalize. Whether you post frequently or just once, you'll have language you can rely on.

• Access to the 99-cent Kindle launch price: As a thank-you for your support, you can purchase the Kindle edition at a special launch-team price of 99 cents during the promotional window.

• BONUS: Private training exclusively for launch team members: Being Present When It Matters Most on Tuesday, March 31, 12 PM ET/9 AM PT.
  Based on key themes from the book, this training will equip you—whether you're a professional advisor or a caring individual—to show up with calm, dignity, and compassion during life's most vulnerable moments, including the final days. It offers a depth of support few are ever taught.

The virtual Book Launch Party will take place on Wednesday, April 29, from 12:30 to 1:45 PM ET/ 9:30 to 10:45 AM PT. There will be inspiring stories from guest speakers, a sneak peek at key points from the book, giveaways, and more. Secure your spot today to join the party!

Who This Is For

This launch team is for you if:

• You are a financial advisor who walks with clients through aging, illness, death, or major life transitions, and you want to serve them with both technical expertise and deep compassion.

• You are someone who has walked through personal grief and wants to help others feel less alone in their own season of loss.

• You are the friend or family member people call when "something bad has happened," and you want better tools and language for those critical conversations.

If you see yourself in any of these descriptions, you are exactly who I had in mind while writing this book.
