This month, we support and celebrate first time author, Erica Sterling-Bush and three time author, Lynnette Clement in the April 2023 issue of the Love Exquisite Magazine.  Both Erica and Lynnette collaborated on writing the self help book: Coping with Grief: Your Happiness Is In Your Healing.  It took the authors two years to finish the book and after going through the process of healing, they are able to share evidence-based research, as well as their own thoughts and ideas on how to help people cope with grief and loss in a healthy way.  Although, during the writing process, both of them experienced some health challenges, yet through the tears of reflection they continued to work diligently towards completing the book to make sure that this book blesses everyone who reads it.  You can purchase your copy today on www.LuLu.com. It is written especially for you, if you struggle navigating through life after encountering traumatic experiences.
