About the Author

Kelly Spear is a lifelong writer, ghostwriter, and published poet whose love for words began long before this book ever existed. First published as a teenager, she went on to build a quiet but impactful career behind the scenes, helping others tell their stories while her own remained tucked away—until now. 

She’s also a mother, a small business owner, and a survivor of profound loss. After the sudden death of her partner, she began sharing her raw, unfiltered journey through grief. Through heartbreak, healing, and everything in between, Kelly found her voice not in perfection, but in the truth. I Still Miss You is her first deeply personal work—raw, honest, and written for anyone who’s ever grieved and needed to hear, “you’re not alone.”

Her hope is simple: to validate the unique and very personal grieving process of those that need it the most and to help others feel seen, understood, and never alone in the darkest moments of their lives.

"Look back at your life—all the heartbreak, the trauma, the moments you thought would break you. They didn’t. You’re still here. That’s not an accident. You were built to survive. And you’ll survive this too."

“I Still Miss You" is more than just my personal story—it's a deeply honest look at grief, loneliness, and survival, woven together with research-backed insights. My hope is to help anyone navigate their own loss and to feel like they have someone out there who will walk beside them. Part memoir, part grief guide, this book blends raw experience with real-world facts. If my book can provide some comfort, clarity, and hope to even one person who is struggling with the painful weight of missing someone, I will feel like my purpose and destiny has been fulfilled. I know it seems impossible, but you WILL make it through. Hold on and remember you are never alone in this.
