Leslee Tessmann was born and raised in the small rural community of Watertown, Wisconsin. Although she travels to Seattle as often as possible to visit her daughter, son-in-law, and three grand-children, she currently lives in Houston with her two brown tabby cats, Kayla and Max.
 
Leslee's education in psychology and sociology, along with her experience with 12-step programs, hospice organizations, and interest in Eastern philosophies all contributed to the ideas and concepts presented in Sacred Grief. Along with promoting her book, Leslee is facilitating workshops, lecturing, and developing a book of straight-from-the-heart prayers for times of grief, and a book that explores the complexities and dimensions of guilt.

Sacred Grief: Exploring a New Dimension to Grief offers an intriguing exploration of the far-reaching ripple effect of our present-day opinions about surviving grief's emotional roller-coaster and the unnecessary suffering our judgments unconsciously promote. You’ll find comfort in discovering that there's another dimension to this universal experience—a dimension that fosters trust, kindness and compassion, peacefully heals, and steadfastly moves you towards your soul's deepest desires and dreams.
