Preston Zeller is an artist with accomplishments across multiple mediums, including film, photography, music, and fine art. Following the death of his brother in 2019, Preston set out to paint for a year straight to process his own grief and share the experience along the way to stir conversation about how we deal with grief in society. The 365 paintings, which create a 10’x20’ mosaic, are the subject of a feature-length documentary entitled, “The Art of Grieving”. The documentary is set for release in Spring 2022. Preston now helps others through grief by creating commemorative paintings using the ashes of a loved one. His goal is to normalize grief conversations in culture and proliferate healthy ways of dealing with grief.

Coty Soto relata un poco sobre sus vivencias en sus propias palabras:

"Un día la muerte tocó a nuestra puerta de una manera trágica y dolorosa; nos cambió literalmente nuestra manera de vivir: no supimos que hacer con tanto dolor, pero la vida continuaba, así que continuamos viviendo así, llenos de muchísimo dolor. Desafortunadamente, la vida nos sorprendió con más muertes de nuestros seres queridos, en muy pocos años: mi cuñada, mi sobrino, mi cuñado, mi padre todo ello en un transcurso de 5 años. Las emociones guardadas y no trabajadas, empezaron afectar mi salud. Y me di cuenta que debía responsabilizarme de mi vida, pues hasta el momento sólo me había dedicado a guardar el dolor, de cada duelo vivido, para ocuparme de los demás. Así, inició un camino que me llevó a la Tanatología y a abrazarme aun mas fuerte de mi fe. Ambas herramientas, la fe y la tanatología, me ayudaron a irme levantando; y afianzaron mis pasos. Ahora, como tanatóloga me doy cuenta de la importancia de trabajar los duelos. He vivido, y sigo viviendo, mi proceso personal. Y en él he descubierto mi llamado de acompañar a personas que desafortunadamente atraviesan este dolor de perder lo que mas aman. Ser para ellas una compañía que las abraza y las escucha para transitar este desierto del dolor; para recordarles que aunque hoy duela, esto también pasará."

Stephanie Cerins' goal since 2000 is to "Cheer Up The People of Our Planet". In 2012 she started her blog HappinessHeals.wordpress.com writing affirmations on a daily basis for her blog and her Reflexology clients and good friends. She received positive feedback about her blog and personalized affirmations that offered support on issues like parenting, relationships, creating abundance and personal growth. "Healing My Heart, After A Loss" is Stephanie's second book. She dreamed of being a writer since she was in grade three. Her first book "Healing My Heart, After Domestic Abuse" was written to help people who love have loved someone who chose to deal with their emotional issues through anger and violence, thrive once again.

When Stephanie was 15 years young her father transformed back to pure energy. After discovering her father's lifeless body she ran to the house to tell her mother she had found her dying father outside near his car in the driveway to their home. That is the day Stephanie's journey of deep grief started.

Stephanie hopes the skills she learned to help heal her own grief can help others. The 52 affirmations in each of her books offer new ways of looking at old problems. Her quirky humor, varied life experiences and interesting perspectives will gift you with new perspectives and skills to deal with your own deep grief.
