A Nurse. A Mother. A Survivor. A Voice of Hope.

Lorena Amada Rivera, MSN, M.Ed., RN, is a compassionate nurse, educator, and advocate whose life experiences have shaped her mission to help others navigate grief with courage and grace.

Her journey through personal loss inspired her to write this memoir—a heartfelt offering to anyone walking through the valley of pain.

With her background in nursing, education, and caregiving, Lorena brings a deeply human understanding of emotional healing. She writes not as an expert looking in, but as a woman who has lived the storm and still found the silver lining.
