Michelle L. Cramer

I have been working closely with bereaved families for nearly 15 years, a decade of which has been as founder and executive director of On Angels’ Wings, a Missouri non-profit that serves families with a medically fragile child. This passion also led me to become an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist in 2020. I’ve walked side-by-side with these families along the entirety of their grief journey and through that experience have observed how friends and family who mean well can actually cause additional pain. In my first book, Unshattered Grief, I seek to help those on the outside of a deeply felt loss — those who can’t fully understand the effect that such a loss has — to learn how to handle their grieving loved ones with care; to leave their fragile grief unshattered.
