33, I Could Hear Her Voice



Mother. Wife. Daughter. Motherless Daughter. Author. Public Speaker. Cancer Thriver.

Dara Kurtz is all of these things and so much more. She has had many experiences in her life that have brought her to a low point, however her Thriving spirit has enabled her to face each challenge head on and eventually get through to the other side of each experience.

Two weeks after Dara gave birth to her first daughter, her Mom passed away from cancer. Dara tried to distract herself from the grief, pain, and loss by throwing herself into motherhood and her job. She had her best year in her career that year.

Dara has since left her career and given herself the space, time and opportunity to make peace with her mothers death and to talk with others about it as well.

Dara also had cancer herself, which sent her into a new journey of grief and learning.

Advice from Dara: Write letters to your loved ones now, while you can. The handwritten word holds a lot of power for Dara.

There are 3 kinds of letters: Just Because, Special Occasion, and The Legacy letter.

Dara has written several books and has several tools available for those dealing with cancer, grief and loss.

Books:
I Am My Mother's Daughter: Wisdom on Life, Loss and Love
Crush Cancer: Personal Enlightenment From A Cancer Survivor
Crush Cancer Workbook

Books can be found on Amazon, or through her website.
