Kelly Cervantes is an award-winning writer, speaker, and advocate
best known for her blog Inchstones and debut book, Normal Broken:
The Grief Companion for When It’s Time to Heal But You’re Not
Sure You Want To. She has been published in the Chicago Tribune,
Cosmopolitan, and Fortune as well as featured on MSNBC, NY Times,
and CNN. Born and raised in the Midwest, Kelly resides in
Maplewood, NJ, with her husband, Miguel Cervantes, their
children, and dogs, Tabasco and Sriracha.

Kelly shares her story of mothering her daughter Adalaide. She
was a career woman until her daughter's diagnosis with Infantile
Spasms and her husband's demanding career collided. She shares
how she grew to love being her daughter's advocate and care-giver
and then the life-transition she was thrust into again when her
daughter died at age 3.

Kelly's book, Normal Broken, was born out of her love and grief
for Adalaide and her honest reflections on healing when you're
not sure you want to.

She is a vulnerable, honest, and beautiful story-teller,
possessing the strength to share her story of love and the
ability to keep on living through grief.
