Diane Kirby

Diane Kirby is a writer and retired lawyer who lives in Ontario (Canada). She began writing essays to process her grief following the death of her husband. To better understand the complexities of grief, she studied Thanatology at university. In her debut book, Demystifying Grief: What You Need to Know to Heal, she explains the what, why and how of grief. Her follow-up memoir Grief and the Spirit World: A Search for Comfort describes her journey as she embraced her Scottish roots, Spiritualism and mediumship to further help her heal from grief. It was while healing, that she found that she, too, could heal others.
