Amy never expected grief to become the doorway to her life’s work; she found her way to the page when words became the only place expansive enough to hold both unimaginable sorrow and enduring love. 

After her daughter died, writing became both refuge and reflection—a place to ask impossible questions, and make sense of a world forever changed. What began as a private act of survival slowly became a way of connecting with others navigating life’s deepest heartbreaks and quietest miracles.

Her work explores grief, motherhood, healing, and the unseen threads that continue to bind us long after death. She writes for the mothers, the families, and the people quietly learning how to find their footing again after life changes shape—not to offer answers, but to remind them they don’t have to walk that path alone. 

Her essays have appeared in Digging Up Bones: Reflections on Trauma & Recovery, and her piece My Body Exonerated won best essay for The Unsealed: Letter to My Body writing contest. She has been featured on The Unsealed and Rarely Normal podcasts, and in literary conversations about grief, healing, motherhood, and the language of hope and intuition. 

Amy lives in Massachusetts with her husband and two living children. When she isn’t writing, you’ll likely find her walking their dog Luna along a quiet stretch of coastline in search of sand dollars. Inspired by everyday miracles and the resilience of the human spirit, she believes meaning can emerge alongside sorrow, healing is rarely linear, and even in our darkest seasons, love will lead us forward.
