About the author

Elaine is a writer and blogger at her website elainemansfield.com . Her book 'Leaning into Love: A Spiritual Journey through Grief' is available in September 2014. For information about her book and work, please visit her website. Elaine's life divided into "Before" and "After" when her husband died of lymphoma in 2008, and she decided to make life on her own as meaningful and full of love as her marriage had been. Now Elaine volunteers in hospice bereavement and leads workshops for people who have lost partners or spouses at Hospicare and Palliative Care Services (Ithaca, NY). She loves photographing butterflies and wildflowers on her land bordering the Finger Lakes National Forest.
