I wrote a novel. It’s fiction. I made it all up. Writing novels is a pretty long process, and it consumed me. Every moment my mind was at rest, and often when it was not my brain was actively thinking about the story. No matter when or where, I would think about the characters I made up and dream up the many interactions they would live through. I would imagine the words they would say, how they might react and how they would feel. What was remarkable about all of this was that it pushed me to be mindful of myself. I got to thinking about what I would say, how I would react and how I would feel if I was met with the same challenges. Through this and talking with people who have read my book and others who have lived through grief, I realized that The Memory Keepers is meant to help people. It inspires you to look at the world through a different lens. It encourages you to CHOOSE contentment. ​To find ways of acceptance in times of pain and worry. Embracing calm when life feels crazy.
