About the author

June Kraholik, who also wrote as June K. Collins, is an author who believes every story — whether nonfiction or fiction — carries a heartbeat: a pulse of love, hope, and second chances. Blending emotional depth with relatability, she writes non-fiction and contemporary romantic fiction that explores the quiet strength found in healing and the beauty of beginning again.

June’s stories are grounded in themes of resilience, redemption, and the human capacity to overcome. She believes that even in the darkest moments, there’s always a path back to light — and that every story is worthy of its own redemption.

When she isn’t writing, June enjoys spending time with her daughter and their many animals, finding joy in the everyday chaos that fills their home. The beach is her favorite place to recharge, a setting that often makes its way into her stories — a reminder that peace can always return, no matter how strong the storm.

Reading this, I found multiple connections to the author, both in terms of similar experiences and exact points she made. I appreciate her perspectives and the strengths she offers to mothers facing similar or identical situations. The book candidly discusses the hardest truths, pains, and sufferings of mothers, but it also creates a strong connection about living and being present for yourself and your loved ones.

Compelling

I am approaching 3 months since my son died suddenly and I found him. We still don't know what happened to him. The mantra-i have already experienced the worst day of my life so this one will be better -resonated with me. In fact nearly everything resonated with me. The pain is excruciati byng but I am honored to be the first person who kissed him as well as the last. I loved him unconditionally and a body is just a condition. I can still love him and will until we meet again

One of the best and most well written books on grief that I’ve come across. I lost my daughter at 21 months old and finding things that I resonate with isn’t always easy, this really hit the mark.
