Saying goodbye to a loved one never gets easier. Anne Peterson understands this. She was sixteen when she lost her mother, twenty-four when she lost her father, and thirty when her sister was killed. In the last few years, Anne said goodbye to two of her brothers. Anne is well acquainted with grief.
With each loss, God drew her closer to himself, giving comfort like no one else could. And in the midst of her pain, poetry came out.
Anne Peterson is a poet, speaker and published author of 15 books, including her memoir, Broken: A Story of Abuse, Survival, and Hope. She has also authored and published children's books as well as poetry books. In addition Anne has published Bible Studies as well as over 40 articles with christianbiblestudies.com/Today’s Christian Woman. Anne is a regular contributor to Crosswalk.com as well as medium.com.
Anne's tagline is "Life is hard, so I write words to make it softer."
Writers need to write about what they know. Anne knows grief. Having lost her mother, her father, and 3 of her siblings and most recently her baby granddaughter, Anne is well acquainted with grief. She wants those who have lost loved ones to know they are not alone which is the main message of her latest book, Always There: Finding God's comfort through loss.
