Kim Murdock

Kim Murdock is a writer, editor, and coach who's made it her mission to help those dealing with the loss of a loved one, particularly a spouse. After becoming a widow at 42, she didn't want people to tell her how to heal or that everything happens for a reason. She just wanted to know that her feelings were normal. She spent years working with a grief counselor and joined a young widows group, becoming good friends with many widows/widowers. Having these outlets to share her feelings and know she wasn't alone was really the only thing that helped her.

In gratitude to the widows and widowers who helped her, she decided to pay it forward and support others suffering a loss. In the award-winning book Feeling Left Behind, she shares her experiences and feelings to help others know they aren't alone and that their feelings are normal. In a candid and heartfelt way, she expresses what many–maybe even most–grieving people feel and experience.

Kim has an MBA from the University of Denver and a BS from the University of Colorado (she's a Colorado girl!). Her favorite activity is hiking and being in nature.
