Launch Week Events
Join us for a week of connection, healing, creativity, and hope as we celebrate the release of On the Other Side of Grief: A Healing Companion for Your Journey from Loss to Hope.
Welcome to Launch Week
More than a Book Launch
On the Other Side of Grief was born from a deeply held belief and a divinely guided calling that no one should have to walk through grief alone.
Grief is as unique as the person experiencing it. There is no wrong way to grieve, no timeline to follow, and no single path toward healing. Yet in some of our hardest moments, we may still wonder if anyone truly understands.
This anthology was created to be a gentle companion through those moments. Through the honest stories of our contributing authors, my hope is that readers will discover even the smallest glimmer of hope, feel less alone, and find comfort in knowing that others have walked through loss in their own way.
On the Other Side of Grief is a healing circle in book form. Every story is an invitation to sit beside someone who has known grief, to witness their experience, and perhaps recognize a reflection of your own. Together, these voices create a circle of understanding, connection, and hope that extends to every reader who enters these pages.
I also believe in the beautiful Legend of the Red Thread, the idea that the people who are meant to find one another will, no matter how winding the path may be. Perhaps that thread is part of what brought you here. If so, I hope you know there is a place for you in this circle.
As we gather during Launch Week, my hope is that you experience not only the stories within these pages, but also the warmth of a community rooted in connection, compassion, and hope.
Welcome. We are so glad you're here.

There is hope on the other side of grief.
Grief takes many forms, from the loss of a loved one or relationship to the loss of health, a dream, or the person you used to be.
More than an anthology, On the Other Side of Grief: A Healing Companion for Your Journey from Loss to Hope is a gentle companion for anyone navigating loss and a healing circle in book form.
Through heartfelt personal stories, thoughtful reflections, and messages of hope, over a dozen contributing authors share their experiences of loss and what they discovered on the other side. Alongside their stories, you’ll find journal prompts, creative invitations, quiet spaces for reflection, and guided activities that you can return to again and again.
Whatever you are grieving, this book meets you exactly where you are. There is no rushing, no performing, and no “right” way to grieve.
While grief changes us, it does not have to define the rest of our story.
Your story is not over. Hope is waiting for you on the other side.

Medicine Basket: What’s on the Other Side of Your Grief?
An Intentional Creativity Experience
Wednesday, September 23, 2026
7:00 PM ET | Online via Zoom
(Not in the Eastern Time Zone? Convert to your local time here.)
What if your grief is carrying more than pain?
What if, alongside the loss, there are also strengths, wisdom, inner resources, truths, and parts of yourself waiting to be discovered or reclaimed?
Join Isabella Rose for a gentle Intentional Creativity® experience inspired by On the Other Side of Grief: A Healing Companion for Your Journey from Loss to Hope.
Together, we will explore the question:
What is on the other side of your grief?
Through guided reflection, visualization, writing, and intuitive painting, you’ll create your own Medicine Basket, a personal symbol of the strengths, wisdom, insights, inner resources, and gifts you carry with you.
Your basket may hold qualities you have relied on, truths you have learned, parts of yourself you are reclaiming, sources of support, hopes for what comes next, or something entirely unexpected that reveals itself through the creative process.
This experience is not about artistic ability or creating a perfect painting. There is nothing you can do “wrong.” You will be invited to listen inward, follow what emerges, and allow the creative process to unfold in your own way.
Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, your health, a relationship, a dream, your sense of identity, or another meaningful loss, you are welcome here.
No artistic experience is necessary.
Come as you are. Leave with a meaningful piece of art and a visual reminder of what you carry within you.
A note about privacy: This workshop will not be recorded in order to protect the privacy and confidentiality of everyone who attends. Our intention is to create a safe and supportive space where participants can be fully present, share openly, and create from the heart.
Free for book purchasers. Your complimentary registration code will be included in the Virtual Gift Bag.
For those who wish to participate without purchasing the book, 13 additional spaces will be available at the cost of the book.
