My Walk with Grief is a spiritual memoir about Elaine Olson’s ten-year search for identity and love after living in the shadows as a pastor's wife for thirty years, eventually marrying an agnostic who embodies God’s grace.      

When her husband died, part of Elaine died too.  Unimpeded as a widow, her search for her own identity and love pulled her into soul struggles, grief, world travel, disastrous dating, dog drama, and spiritual surprises. 

Elaine’s memoir will inspire readers to seek new identities after significant loss or transition, encouraging them to grieve deeply, live fully, and rediscover love and the largeness of God’s embrace.
