to Light
From Lemons
My Journey through Grief, Grace, and Growth —
You don’t have to have it all together to begin healing.
I’m Stacey Dempsey-Patrick — keynote speaker, writer, widow, mother, and founder of The Squeeze, Stir, Rise Journal and the Grace & Lemons Collective. My work is rooted in one simple but powerful truth:
After an unimaginable personal loss, I found myself navigating the crushing weight of grief while trying to hold life together for my family.
There were days I couldn’t breathe, let alone “make lemonade.” But through each bitter moment, I learned to lean into grace — not perfection, not productivity — just grace.
Now, I help others do the same.
Today, I speak to audiences around the country about resilience, grief, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. I use my own story to show how even in the darkest seasons, transformation is possible.
