Don\'t Box Me In: Mary Lee Robinson

Mary Lee Robinson

Mary Lee Robinson was widowed suddenly in early 2013. Finding few social outlets and resources after grief counseling, she founded a social club for widows and widowers in her area that grew to 170 members in a year. Next, she decided to gather a group of twenty five widows and widowers and write about their experiences. The book was completed in 10 months, no easy feat with so many authors.


She has recently become a Certified Grief Coach, by the American Association of Christian Counselors, to help guide her in her writing. It is also the hope of Mary Lee and the other twenty five storytellers that she will be able to use a portion of the proceeds of the book to establish additional social clubs around the country for widows and widowers.


She lives in the Low Country Region of the Carolinas with her dogs, a Doxie and a Rottie. This is her first book, in collaboration with the 25 widows and widowers, or “storytellers”. She is already planning a follow up book Finding Our Footing which will also be a collection of stories told by widows and widowers.
