In MY GRIEF IS NOT LIKE YOURS, Theo Boyd interweaves the story of her struggle with complicated grief he type of heavy, lingering grief that comes after an unexpected, unspeakable loss with a tribute to her extraordinary parents, both native Texans, and their devotion to each other.
THEO BOYD, whose given name is Thelizabeth after her two grandmothers, Thelma and Elizabeth, is a farmgirl at heart. For most of her adult life, she lived in Waxahachie, Texas, about 30 minutes south of Dallas, where she taught high school English, raised her daughter, and was an active volunteer in various organizations, her community, and her church. After 30 years, she moved back to her hometown of Whitney, Texas, to come to terms with the death of her mother in a tragic farming accident, followed three years later by her father’s suicide. She now devotes her time to writing and speaking about loss, grief, and faith with the mission of helping others find comfort and hope.
