About Me
I’m Monica Arora Kumar, an End-of-Life Educator and former nurse. Through both professional experience and personal loss, I’ve seen the difference preparation makes, and the heartbreak families face when it’s missing. My work brings together cultural wisdom, clinical training, and lived experience to help individuals and families plan ahead with clarity, support, and care.
Beyond Loss:
The Power of Purposeful Grief
Beyond Loss: The Power of Purposeful Grief is a deeply personal reflection on love, loss, and what grief can become when we choose to carry it with intention.
After losing both my mother and brother within nine months, I found myself reshaped by grief in ways I couldn’t have imagined. This book is not about “getting over” anything. It’s about the quiet choices we make to keep going, the cultural and personal grounding that can hold us when nothing else can, and the unexpected ways grief carves meaning into our lives.
Through stories, tools, and lived reflection, this is an offering for anyone who’s grieving, or trying to understand how grief lives on in us. Not as something to fix. But as something we can learn to carry differently.
