Daphne is a mother of five with one precious daughter in heaven, whose loss transformed her life’s trajectory in profound ways. After leaving behind a long career in criminal justice, she discovered a new calling in helping others navigate the complex landscape of grief through faith and hope. As an author, business owner, and co-founder of a nonprofit organization established in memory of her daughter, Daphne has dedicated her life to being “a light in the darkness” for bereaved hearts. Her writing focuses on finding the sweeter side of grief and illustrating how faith can transform and restore lives after devastating loss. When she’s not writing or supporting other grieving families, Daphne embraces the country lifestyle she loves, spending time with her family, dogs, hunting, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors. She has a particular fondness for chocolate and pomegranates, and finds so much peace in nature. Currently working on her next book a devotional for grieving moms, Daphne also shares insights and encouragement through her blog. Her message to fellow travelers on this difficult path is simple yet powerful: you are not alone. She walks alongside others in their grief, offering hope born from her own experience of loss and restoration.
