Jan Warner has been going through this journey since her husband, Artie, passed. As a result of her deep grief over losing her beloved husband, she created Grief Speaks Out, which is now a flourishing Facebook community of over two million people worldwide. She also emerged from the experience to pen the bestselling book titled Grief by Day: Simple Practices and Daily Guidance for Living with Loss, which provides 365 daily reflections, weekly themes, and 52 healing exercises to help its readers to make peace with their grief one day at a time.
