Love in the Time of Grief

It begins with a devastating goodbye—but becomes a story about what comes next.

It’s about Israel: my husband, my best friend, mi compañerito.

It’s about the love we built… and the life I had to rebuild.

Through heartbreak and humor, rituals and rage, family and faith, this memoir shows what grief

really looks like when it’s queer, brown, messy, sexy, sacred—and still so full of life.

It’s not just a story of loss.

It’s about love that refuses to die.

It’s about healing in unexpected places.

It’s about choosing yourself when the world gives you every reason to fall apart.

For anyone who’s ever loved deeply, lost painfully, or had to rebuild from the wreckage—

this isn’t just a memoir.

It’s a mirror.

A reckoning.

A reclamation.

And maybe, just maybe… a little hope.
