Sarah Montana's mother and brother were murdered at gun point six days before Christmas in 2008. From that moment, she was thrust into the jungles of grief and trauma with no map -- just an amazing support network and strong inner compass. Since then, she's become a conservatory-trained opera singer, professional actor, ghost written book proposals and TV pitches, and worked at a hedge fund in pursuit of the next chapter. She rebuilt her family and married a wonderful man. She's stunned to recognize that there can be a deeper, fuller and richer life after it feels like the world ends. Now, she's passionately exploring how to encourage other victims of grief to find their own authentic sense of normalcy.
