Writing has always been my way of making sense of life’s most complicated moments.
His Name is Eric is a deeply personal exploration of love, loss, resilience, and the search for healing.

Through His Name is Eric, I’m sharing our journey, one that will inspire you to rethink how we approach health, healing, and the power of self-advocacy. This is more than a memoir — it’s a way to connect, heal, and take control of your own story.

You’re more than just another patient in the symptom-management system — and His Name is Eric knows that. This powerful memoir dives deep into one couple’s fight for love, life, and empowered health. If you’re ready to take control of your health story, this book is for you.
"What our loved ones often don’t realize is that it’s an honor for us to be part of the journey.
To be able to love, and support, and cry, and hug, and go through it all. It’s sometimes messy, and often painful, but it’s real, authentic and intense, and good for the heart at the same time."
