Hello, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m so pleased to be sharing my tips and suggestions for people navigating grief, via text message. My book, GONE FROM MY SIGHT: The Dying Experience, or “the little blue hospice book” has sold over 30 million copies and is the most beloved and widely used resource of its kind. Lots of the tips I share in the book can now be delivered straight to your phone, thanks to my partnership with Help Texts. And, because you're signing up here on my page, you'll receive my personal discount, below. Signup takes less than five minutes and you'll receive your first text message right away.
I'm also really pleased to be supporting healthcare workers via text. I have worked in many hospice roles over the past four decades including patient care manager, clinical director, nurse and volunteer, so I know how important it is to help our care workers navigate burnout and fatigue. Sign up below.
Take good care of yourself.

I was gifted Help Texts from my sister after the loss of a dear friend. These texts are wonderful!!!! Not only are they supportive, but the insights they provide and tools to help are invaluable. I have shared several of the texts to others who are going through grief as well. At first, they ask questions, so that the texts they provide are geared to your needs. The thoughtfulness of this gift is profound, and I can't recommend it enough.

Hi Marty, thanks for your supportive words. As I typed this I realized that is also what Help Texts are---supportive words. Blessings! Barbara
