The fact that tomorrow isn’t guaranteed was a painful lesson that Ashley Bugge was forced to learn. She was pregnant with her third child and living an idyllic life in Hawaii when her military husband died tragically in a scuba diving accident.
Ashley shares deeply in this interview how she coped in her darkest days and how, today, she works every day to build her life into exactly what she wants it to be – even after the unexpected loss.
The career pause she took was unintended, but it led her to discover herself as a writer, speaker, and storyteller. Today, she is looking forward to the upcoming release of her book, Always Coming Back Home: An Emotional Tale of Love, Adventure, Tragedy and Hope. After failing to find a book that helped her small children understand the death of their father, she wrote A Hui Hou: Until We Meet Again from their perspective to help other children facing this big issue.
As a newly single mother of three, Ashley was worried that she’d have to give up her love of global travel, but this resilient mama found a way to plan the trip of a lifetime – with the help of some amazing friends. Check out Two Months, Eight Countries on her website.
