More than just a guide to grief recovery, Madonna offers her story as a gentle reminder that healing is possible.Having lost both of her parents by the time she was just eight years old, Madonna had moved on as an adult, thinking she was over her grieving. It wasn’t until she was in her forties and living a successful life with a career in corporate consulting that she became aware of a sense of profound disconnection in her life. When she began exploring, she realized she’d never dealt with the impact of losing her dad or processed the effects of facing a mother’s mortality at such a young age. This was when she began her healing journey. After much time exploring her childhood loss and researching grief recovery, she began to see hope, growth, and healing. Madonna wrote Six Healing Questions to help others on their path to recovering from loss. Madonna lives in San Diego and owns a speaking and consulting business with her husband, Bob.
