Dorina was the primary caregiver for her husband when he battled melanoma. She learned to grieve when they had to give up the non-profit they were running and also when her husband passed away. The weight of grief as a widow and the heaviness of secondary losses left Dorina exhausted and burned out. As Dorina says, "it takes a lot of courage to rest."

Check out Dorina's books Flourishing Together and Glory Chasers.
