After experiencing the loss of seven family members in her extended family during a 12-year period, Paulina began writing books on grief recovery. Her book set is titled, A Time to Heal: Grief Recovery Guide and Workbook (2009). She followed-up with a second book in 2010 titled, Life Interrupted: Grief Recovery Guide and Workbook. Paulina is currently conducting grief recovery workshops.
