Robbie has had a long and interesting road to becoming a successful author. When she started out writing career and job search books, she had no idea she would eventually write about loss and grief. It's Robbie's personal experience with loss and her desire to make a difference in the lives of those grieving a loss that motivated her to write "How to Say It® When You Don't Know What to Say."
Robbie writes from the unique perspective as a mother who has lost two children. In 1981, Robbie gave birth to her son Aaron in January and her daughter Amy in December. Both of her children died in infancy from the same congenital heart defect.
Robbie's goal is to help her readers communicate effectively when their loved ones, neighbors, colleagues, and community members face difficult times. Karen Marsh, Librarian, Glenforest Secondary School in Ontario, Canada says:
"Kaplan reminds us that we're touched by grief every day and the first step
to recovery is positive communication. We love the "How to Say It®" series."
"How to Say It® When You Don't Know What to Say" is now available in individual volumes for Illness & Death, Suicide, Miscarriage, Job Loss, Pet Loss, Death of a Child, Death of a Stillborn or Newborn Baby, Caregiver Responsibilities, and Divorce.
