Dr. Ginni's father passed, when she was 12. This loss completely
altered her life. Having lost loved ones, she has dedicated her
life to bring hope and healing for grieving children and their
families. She wrote "A Memoir of Mother-Daughter Love at the End of
Life", which she found incredibly healing. Dr. Ginni shares the
following wisdom: talk about death while your loved ones are still
alive, when two people communicate with each other, love will win
in the end, put yourself in others' shoes, practice forgiveness,
ask for help, choose to be happy about the small things, have fun,
be kind and be loving.
