Shelby Forsythia is the author of Permission to Grieve and the podcast host of Coming Back: Conversations on Life After Loss. After the unexpected death of her mother in 2013, she became a "student of grief" and set out on a lifetime mission to explore the oft-misunderstood human experience of loss. Through her books, weekly podcasts, and one-on-one grief guidance, she helps grieving people find direction, get support, and cultivate radical self-compassion after devastating loss.
