For the first few months of grief, Tracy watched as life was being rewritten in front of her eyes. Think: Stranger Than Fiction
In this episode, Tracy shares her grief origin story- the death of her mom Bev in November 2017. The first year of grief is tough and Tracy discusses the highs and lows of sharing her experience with death during the holidays with her community online.
You can see Tracy’s grief origin story unfold on her blog- Week 47 of 2017.

Since we are opening up a time capsule, here’s the last picture Bev saw of Tracy + Cooper on Tracy’s website before she died. Tracy was a 38-year-old Mom with a 9-year-old son when her Mom died.
Costco bear hugs <3
