ABOUT - Lauren Cross

Lauren sits smiling with her back to the ocean. Her hair is dark blonde and wavy, and it falls just below her shoulders. She's wearing a navy blue dress with a v-neck and scalloped sleeves that almost reach her elbow. She's wearing a bronze and silver necklace.

HI! I’M LAUREN

I’m Lauren Cross (she/her), and I’m a “grief travel writer.”

I write about things people don’t usually talk about, like miscarriage, infertility, death, and grief. (Believe it or not, I’m much funnier in person!)

I’ve been known to lose things. My fertility. My dad. My train of thought. My damn mind… But my favourite kind of loss is myself while listening to music or reading a book. Bad habits include misplacing my glass, cups of tea, the tops to pens, and—much to my husband’s exasperation—the plastic clasp to a loaf of bread, but never any of my three (UK/US/Ireland) passports.

When my writing isn’t being interrupted by snack requests from a trio of small redheads, I offer workflow support for maxed-out small business owners.
