Gabrielle Shiozawa: Joy After Loss

Just three weeks before she was going to graduate from high school, Gabrielle Shiozawa was on a run with her dad when he began to experience symptoms of heart failure. Later that night, her father passed from this life to the next and Gabrielle became acquainted with grief in an intimate way she'd never expected. Still a young college student, Gabrielle has now written the book she wishes she'd had when her world came crashing down. "There can be peace inside of pain, and we can find purpose even when we are aching."
