Voice & Vision in the Media

Grief has a branding problem. Ron Stempkowski is working on it.

He is the author of The Luck We Carry: Love, Loss, and the Stories That Shape Us, a memoir-in-essays with a foreword by grief therapist and bestselling author Claire Bidwell Smith, and a grief coach who writes and speaks about a simple idea: we don't move on from the people we love—we move with them.

Bios, headshots, book details, and interview topics are below. For anything else, get in touch.
