Christy Wopat's award-winning memoir, Almost a Mother: Love, Loss, and Finding Your People When Your Baby Dies, was published in 2018. A fourth-grade teacher, busy mama, and wife, Christy has always relied on writing as a way to cope. Recently she decided to use that strength as a way to help others so they don't have to feel alone, especially in grief. She lives with her husband and kids in Holmen, Wisconsin.
