Read the Book

This isn't a book about how to grieve the "right" way 🙅‍♀️

When Liz became a widow overnight, grief didn't come with a guidebook. It came with casseroles, silence, and unsolicited opinions.

Part memoir, part rallying cry, Flowers Bloom Anyway is a real and redemptive story about unexpected loss, solo motherhood, rural grit, stubborn hope, and the kind of faith people don't earn in a church pew but in the aftermath.

Through the loss, the loneliness, and the rumors, she kept going. She is raising her daughters, has rebuilt her life, and found glimpses of grace in dirt-covered hands and flower fields, and turned it all into a thriving, million-dollar enterprise.

"Loved this memoir. Very inspiring. Personal. From the heart. Real life grief, experiences, very relatable in so many ways. Highly respected! I cried and I smiled. I also now want to grow flowers of my own, for myself, so there is that! I also want to take a step back in my own life and apply several of her wisdoms after reading. She really put it all out there. Didn’t hold back and I appreciated that. Liz is truly a gift!"

-Amanda

"It is easy to tell that Dr. Liz Fiedler Mergen truly put her heart and soul into this book. It pulled so many emotions from the first page to the last. When I say that everyone needs to read this book - EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK! Whether you are weathering your own storm, helping someone weather a storm, or want to be prepared for both, this book will help you see grief can show itself in different forms and how moving forward doesn't mean you want to forget the past. I believe anyone who reads this book may become less judgmental of how others handle life's curveballs and can help us all become more compassionate human"

-Nancy

"Exceptional book on loss, grieving and finding joy again. I have been following Liz and Sunny Mary Meadow on Facebook from Colorado, but I grew up in MN and can relate to MN values and determination but never knew the entire backstory. Ironically, my husband passed the same day (but now 18 years ago). I will be recommending to all new and past widows as this is exactly what I have tried to share with them of the good, the bad and the ugly I personally experienced."
