Tanya Bonner
Tanya Bonner knows the raw depths of grief—and the strength it takes to rise. After losing her soulmate, she faced the heartbreak of loss while continuing to raise her four children and rebuild her own life. Now a powerful mindset coach, she is passionate about helping other women rise from their own pain into empowerment. Through her story and her work, she turns silence into strength and grief into purpose.
Chapter 15: Shattered by Loss, Strengthened by Love
Shortly after Tanya falls in love with Troy a policeman’s knock delivers the unthinkable: Troy has died in a car–truck collision. In the aftermath she can’t sleep, fears driving, and is overwhelmed by the calls and logistics. On a trip they’d planned, a stranger’s empathy sparks a shift toward living with intention, treating herself like a best friend, and noticing “glimmers” that help her keep going.
