Listen Later

Aly Bird is a coach, an author, a therapist-in-training, and a widow who is the author of the wisdom-filled book titled Grief Ally: Helping People You Love Cope with Death, Loss and Grief. When Aly was 30 years old, the person she loved and trusted most in her life suddenly died, leaving her in a world that no longer made sense.


In the aftermath of her loss, Aly quickly realized that her positive experience of support was unique and unlike the horror stories of isolation and ignorance that she was hearing from her widowed peers. With unconditional love, courage and brutal honesty, Aly and her support network began navigating how to live in her new reality, and this collective experience inspired her to write her wisdom-filled book.
