In Finding My Fire, Sheri Lux shares her journey of resiliency, recovery, and hope in the face of personal tragedy.

They had it all; a loving marriage, two beautiful children, and thriving careers. She was a middle school teacher, and he was a successful RCMP Officer. But behind closed doors, their loving home began to unravel as he privately struggled with PTSD. Their life became riddled with confusion and chaos, which eventually led them down a winding path of rehabilitation, and codependency treatment.

As they attempted to get their family back on track, Sheri discovered she was a carrier of the BCRA1 gene; the same gene that Angelina Jolie brought awareness to with her preventative breast surgeries. Sheri began to find healing strength in the arts as she poured her vulnerability and emotions into abstract paintings and candle making. This eventually led to the branding of a company that reminds others to take time for themselves.

In October 2017, their family was shattered when her husband lost his battle with PTSD and took his life. His suicide marked a significant change within the RCMP, as it shone a bright light on the stigma surrounding mental health.

Grief-stricken, Sheri was forced to rebuild her life. In her autobiography, she brings hope to heartache, reminding us that we don't have to suffer alone. If we are brave enough to lean into the uncomfortable shadows, we can rise above and find our fire.
