Kelley’s first book, “My Husband Is Not a Rainbow: The Brutally Awful, Hilarious Truth about Life, Love, Grief, and Loss”, was released in June of 2018. Since the death of Don Shepherd, it has been Kelley's mission to change the conversation surrounding grief and loss, and to help others to navigate through their own personal grief tsunami.; shifting from just surviving to living a meaningful, beautiful life. Kelley's favorite sound in the world is widowed people - laughing.
