About the Authors
These books could not have been written without each other; Marina and Marian.
We challenged each other. We debated with each other. We supported each other. We celebrated each other. We modeled what it is to have relationship in grief. We are the epitome of the word Team. And, we have become dear friends. This is the love and energy that sits in the pages of all the Remember, It’s OK books, waiting for you.
