ABOUT OUR AUTHORS
Karyl McKendry,
Paisley Project Founder
“Although I never considered myself a writer, I am committed to shedding light on the experience of grief and loss from its raw, ugly beginnings, all the way through to its redemptive moments. I talk about the science of grief and loss, about how coaching contributes to healing, about travel, food, nutrition, exercise, and what I’ve learned on my own journey.
