Ellen Gerst approaches all of her writing projects and coaching sessions from a "been there/done that" perspective.
Widowed at age 39, with two young sons to raise, she not only "recovered" from this devastating blow but thrived as she used it as a platform of self-discovery and transformation.
She is the author of Suddenly Single and 101 Tips and Thoughts for Coping with Grief, both easy-to-read compendiums of practical, spiritual, physical and emotional tips on moving successfully through the grief journey towards renewal.

After working on her grief for many years, Ellen decided that it was time to start living and find another partner with whom to share her life. Based on a successful twenty-five year relationship, she knew how to have one -- she just wasn't quite sure how to find one! Love After Loss: Writing The Rest of Your Story follows her journey as she, first, found herself and then went in search for "another." Love After Loss includes tips on how to get to know your "new single self"; safely and successfully Internet date; and how to turn a date into a successful relationship. To further help those who are looking for love, she has written If You Want To Be Terrific, You Need To Be Specific!, which contains 150 specific actions one can take to find success in dating and with the relationships that ensues.

Ellen has also collaborated with Melinda Vail, the Southwest's leading intuitive therapist, on The Other Side of the Vail: Spiritual Guidance for Everyday Living, a Spirituality 101 primer for those who are beginning to explore this area in their search for meaning.
Additionally, Ellen is now offering a tool to help people practice and enhance their social connectivity skills.
