After multiple careers — Therapist, Human Resources Director, Corporate Stress Management Trainer, Life Coach, Antique Dealer, and Mom — Harvard- educated Ellyn Wolfe retired, moved to Four Seasons from San Diego, and stepped into a life of literary creativity. She is a founding member of Hemet's Diamond Valley Writer's Guild and the publisher and an editor of the DVWG magazine, Straitjackets. "Grateful for the Color Blue: Surviving the Loss of An Adult Child" is her debut, a memoir documenting her journey through the death of her adult son. "When my son was dying, I looked everywhere for a book written by parents who had lost their adult child. I hoped to find solace in the company of another who knew what I was going through, the horror I believed 'outsiders' would not understand. I longed for someone who could look into my soul, know the intensity of my experience, and be compassionate. I found nothing. So, I decided to write that book as an outreach to those who need to know they are not alone in their loss, that someone out there understands on a deep level and offers compassion and support. The positive responses I receive have erased any doubt I had about putting my deepest self out there." Ellyn's memoir is written as a journal and reads like a novel.
