Mary Christopherson lives Hope After Loss. The twice divorced mother of two learned early on that life is not fair. No matter what losses she experienced, she believed in hope and created a new life. When she recently lost her beloved spouse, Duane, to a brain tumor, she authored and self-published Winning with a Bad Hand; A Story of Love, Loss and Healing, the personal and inspirational account of their journey through his illness and death, and of her own transformation through grief.

Mary’s latest book, Hopelets-- Seeds of Hope from My Heart to Yours, is the result of her inspirational email messages originally sent to her clients, colleagues, family and friends. A trained life coach, Mary  has dedicated her new life to helping others find hope in the midst of despair. She is a Spiritual Care Minister and Grief and Loss facilitator at her church, a private grief and life coach, an inspirational speaker, and offers classes and workshops on finding Hope After Loss.
