In her spiritual memoir, It's All Grace, Dr. Kimberly Nilsson brings us along on the tumultuous journey of ups and downs she experienced following the sudden and devastating loss of her husband, and eventually, flourishing and falling in love with life again.
"Losing someone we love to suicide is unbearable. In It's All Grace, Kimberly Nilsson chronicles her journey from the shock and horror of her beloved husband Nils's suicide to the radiant grace, sobriety, and sparkle in her life today." — from the foreword by Trudy Goodman, founder of InsightLA
"This is a wise and heartfelt journey from the depths of addiction, suicide, and grief to healing and freedom from suffering. Many spiritual gems on this path await the reader."— Dale Borglum, founder and Executive Director of the Living/Dying Project
Kimberly met Nils Nilsson, an extraordinary man and a successful Swedish entrepreneur, at a recovery center in the Caribbean. He swept her off her feet; they fell in love; and she moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where Nils was living with his children. There, she embraced a new family, a new culture, and a new life. They married at a simple ceremony in Manhattan's Central Park, and then the fairy tale came to an abrupt end when Kimberly found Nils, who had been under the influence of a narcotic, hanging from a rafter in their Geneva home. According to World Health Organization, suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide.
Kimberly takes us on her dark nights of rage, despair, and grieving that followed this unbearable loss. She shares everyday details and the broad strokes as she found faith and renewal drawing on Catholicism, the teachings of Ram Dass, the holy River Ganges, Wayne Dyer, the Twelve-Step program, to name a few, while protecting her commitment to sobriety. It's All Grace is an inspirational, informative resource for everyone, and especially those who have lost a loved one to suicide and those working with addiction, suicide prevention, and other kinds of loss.

- How to handle shock and loss and not get stuck
- What lessons can be learned from life's difficulties
- The true meaning of resilience and how you can cultivate it
