edit data

Karen Trench never imagined that she would give up a successful career in television for anything, let alone for a log cabin high in the Colorado Rockies. Then again, she never thought she’d meet her soul mate, with whom she lived in those mountains, on and off, for two decades of blissful marriage. When she found herself a widow, a shocked survivor of her husband’s death, she could not have conceived that she would someday emerge from the wreckage a strong, happy, and emotionally empowered woman. Now she shares her story of Love Loss Light with a fervent prayer that it may be of service to her fellow travelers in grief.

Her journey continues online via her social media. Connect with Karen, she'd love to hear from you! ...more
