You're So Strong examines the beautiful, hilarious mess of life after loss, the superpower of embracing the awful with the amazing, and one ordinary widow/single mom's discovery that being strong looks less like conquering the stages of grief and more like coming to the end of yourself to find that God is right there, grieving alongside you.
"You're doing so well," they tell you. "You're so strong."
Meanwhile, you're standing in the middle of your living room, staring at a mountain of grown-man Legos, wondering if it's disrespectful to donate them or insane to keep them.
You're on hold with AT&T for the third time this week, trying to explain to a stranger that the account holder doesn't need unlimited data anymore because he's dead. You are holding it together on the outside, but on the inside, you are navigating a map that no one gave you, for a terrain you never wanted to visit.
Leslie Harter-Berg knows too well the absurdity of the "admin of death"--the paperwork, the passwords, the phone calls that punctuate the grief. She knows what it's like to have a life that was "pretty darn good" implode into a reality of solo parenting and widowhood at the age of thirty. She knows exactly what it feels like to have to do school drop-off when simply getting out of bed seems insurmountable.
In this relatable, poignant, and funny memoir-meets-grief-guide, Leslie shares her many attempts at conquering the stages of grief and her ultimate acceptance that no one is actually grading her in Coping 101. In this deeply honest account of life after loss, Leslie learns the hard way that surviving is often more profound and beautiful than thriving.
If you're exhausted by the well-meaning but empty promises that this is a "blessing in disguise," that "now you have a guardian angel" or "everything happens for a reason," come sit next to Leslie as she discovers that there's not a magic prayer for moving on, and that it's time to lay down the mantle of "doing grief right."

Leslie Harter-Berg is a speaker, writer, owner of video production company Harter Creative, and founder of the nonprofit Vids for Wids, which creates grief content aimed at helping widows feel less alone. After the sudden death of her husband in 2019, she became a young widow, single mom, and solo business owner with a newfound passion to learn and share more about grief and the mess of rebuilding. When she’s not chasing her children or on a TV commercial set, she’s connecting with other widows around the globe about life after loss.
