Summary

Linda Donovan has been leading grief support groups for Hospice of Santa Cruz County for more than a decade. After experiencing how their hospice team provided so much assistance to her family before and after her husband died from cancer, she became very involved as a volunteer with the organization.

She is the author of Beyond Loss in a Pandemic: Find Hope and Move Through Grief After Someone Close to You Dies; After Loss: Hope for Widows, Widowers and Partners; and co-author of Tech Grief: Survive and Thrive through Career Losses, which won a Writer’s Digest Award.

Linda is a firm believer that loss isn’t just limited to death—but also the loss of time, experiences, income, and so much more, and it all needs to be recognized as part of a modern understanding of grief.
