Brief bio:
Tom Zuba is a grief guide, author, life coach and inspirational speaker. His intention is to transform the way we “do grief” worldwide by sharing tools he’s gathered over the last 20+ years. In 1990, Tom’s 18-month-old daughter Erin died suddenly. His 43-year-old wife Trish died equally as suddenly on New Year’s Day 1999 and his 13-year-old son Rory died from brain cancer in 2005. Tom and his son Sean are learning to live a full, joy-filled life, one day at a time.
Tom appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show with best-selling author Gary Zukav, and currently writes a monthly column for CARING magazine. To learn more, visit www.TomZuba.com and follow Tom on Facebook and Twitter.
