Author, mentor and founder of The Grief School.

After losing my fiancé and dad to cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic, I found solace in journaling, which became a lifeline for both me and others navigating grief.

Since then, I've co-created an e-guide, launched a podcast, and written the bestselling memoir Bittersweet. But what matters most to me are the messages from people saying, "Lotte, I don’t feel so alone anymore."

​In the darkest times of my grief, I needed to believe that a meaningful life could be built after heartbreak.
