| 6/23/26 | ![]() Marisa Renee Lee on Life, Love, Loss, Grief, Hope, Healing and her New Book Waiting for Dawn: Living with Uncertainty | Marisa Renee Lee is the award-winning and bestselling author of Grief is Love. For her work on grief and healing, she has been featured on Good Morning America and NPR, in Vogue and The Atlantic, among other outlets.
