Will to Liv

What if the shortest life could teach you the most about truly living?

When Angela’s son Will was born at 27 weeks and lived just 104 days, her world shattered.
What followed was the birth of Liv — and a path back to presence. To meaning. To what it means to truly liv.

“This isn’t the book I planned to write, but it’s the one I get to. And if you’ve ever lost, loved, wondered how to keep going—or simply wanted to live more fully—I hope it reminds you, as Will reminded me, that the ‘Will to Liv’ is always inside us.”

Will to Liv is a raw, powerful memoir of one mother’s journey—beginning with the 104 days of her son Will’s life, and continuing through the healing, rebirth, and deeper living that came after.

But this isn’t just a story about grief.
It’s a story about healing. About meaning. About choosing not just to survive—but to truly live.

It all began with her waters breaking at just 15 weeks while on a babymoon in Mexico—a moment that changed her life forever.

When Angela’s long-awaited son Will was born prematurely, she entered a world of monitors, wires, and NICU prayers. For 104 days, she lived minute to minute—loving, hoping, breaking, and believing. And when Will passed away, everything changed.

This book is the legacy he left behind.

In the year after losing Will, Angela gave birth to his little sister—Liv. And in that moment, the message became clear:
You can’t always choose what happens to you…
But you can choose how deeply you live.

Will. To. Liv.
Two children. One message. A mother’s journey through loss and back to life—not just to exist, but to truly Liv.

Told in the voice of a mother and a woman rebuilding herself piece by piece, Will to Liv takes you through the darkest nights and into the light.
It’s vulnerable. Spiritual. Honest. And always real.

Whether you're navigating grief, loss, or trying to find meaning again, this story will remind you:
You still have breath.
You still have choice.
And you still have the will—to truly Liv.

A Note from Angela Re: Page 104
As part of the final publishing process, I reformatted the book with 'luxury' margins so it would flow nicer on the page. When the proof copy came back for final approval, something extraordinary happened: it skipped from page 103 to 105—page 104 had completely disappeared. I took it as a sign from Will, reminding me he was right here with me. I chose to keep page 104 blank, just for him.
