Myra Sack is the author of “Fifty-Seven Fridays: Losing Our Daughter Finding Our Way,” and founder of E-Motion, a nonprofit organization created to support community, movement and ritual to enhance coping and resilience. Myra’s life changed when her older daughter, Havi, was diagnosed with a fatal neurodegenerative disease in December 2019. Havi died on January 20, 2021 of Tay-Sachs disease. E-Motion evolved out of a new way of living with the most difficult reality, blending Myra’s lived experience and knowledge as a Certified Compassionate Bereavement Care provider with her lifelong identity as an athlete and career in social impact.
The “SAVVY” Framework featured in the book, is a way of being there for the people we love in a sustained way, gently supporting them while leaving space for them to accept or decline what we offer. This approach allows them to be themselves with us, keeping companionship as they move with the hardest things.
