Emerging Voices Living On: A Journey Through Loss to Renewal
**A Bridge from Grief to Healing**
Emerging Voices Living On is a heartfelt collection of poetry, “Art from the Heart,” and journal pages for personal reflection, created after the loss of my husband of 42 years. Inspired by encouragement from the bereavement community, family, and friends who found comfort in my work, I wrote this book to support others navigating their own grief.
Though grief leaves a permanent mark on your soul, its sharp edges soften over time. However, life’s unexpected moments can reopen that tender scar, bringing waves of sorrow once more. Emerging Voices Living On is a companion for these moments—a bridge to help you cross grief’s turbulent waters and arrive at a place of renewal, peace, and hope.
The included journal pages provide a space for readers to process their own emotions, offering an active path to self-discovery and healing.
One reader shared:
"I wish this book had been available ten years ago when I was going through my own journey of loss. It was so comforting to sit down and reflect with this book. Emerging Voices is truly special and will not disappoint. In moments when we need clarity, encouragement, and purpose, Laurel Rund’s heartfelt words and art offer a generous gift of healing."
—Annette Rochelle Aben, The Magic Happens
Emerging Voices Living On is a meaningful gift for anyone seeking solace, inspiration, and a space to reflect during the journey through loss.

Within my book, Emerging Voices - Living on: A Journey Through Loss to Renewal is a poem I wrote called **Come Home**. The vision for this poem and artwork came to me during a guided meditation which took me to my heart. After taking that journey, I created the artwork and the words emerged next.
I consider Come Home to be a divine gift which came through me to Phil Leber, who then wrote the music and sings our song so beautifully. It is our gift to the Universe!
