Kim started on the journey no one wants on August 23, 2021. "Your husband’s body has been found", said the detective on the other end of the phone. Her breath was immediately taken away and she went into uncontrollable hysterics. After 11 years of marriage, it had all come to an abrupt and unexpected tragic end and her life would never be the same. What would come next would be a quick unraveling of unexpected secrets, deception, and more heartbreak. 

Kim transparently shares her story because shame needs secrecy to survive (as stated by world-renowned grief expert David Kessler) and she refuses to give in to either. Grief can be isolating but it doesn't have to be. ​ Kim discovered meaning while healing and founded The Mocha Widow for other women and widows like her.  Kim is a Veteran’s Widow, holds a master’s degree in Family Science from Concordia University, St. Paul, and is a Certified Grief Educator.
