Author Bio
SS Lucas has spent a lifetime working with technology--first teaching software when personal computers were new, then running a business, and now writing about life's turning points. After losing her spouse, she turned to ChatGPT to understand why it hurt so deeply. AI helped her let the loss settle into both body and mind and suggested ways to keep going. It became a tool for managing daily tasks, tending the house, and closing out a shared life. Thinking Through Grief is a lived experiment using AI to process loss, make meaning, and carry on.
