SINK or SWIM Amy Williams

High school sweethearts, Joe and Amy, grew up together from the sweet age of 16. They lived their lives to the fullest; travelling around Australia, South East Asia, Indonesia, Mentawai Islands, The UK, South Africa, Europe, Mexico, and Central America - just to name a few.




Their love and bond for each other had been so special; undeniably soul mates.




Until one day, tragedy hit. On one regular Tuesday morning in 2013, everything changed.




"As I lay there, bawling my eyes out, all I could imagine was walking into the ocean, feeling the cool water on my skin, feeling myself submerge under the water then just swimming out to sea and not coming back. The idea of being 'free' was overwhelming. I just wanted the struggle to stop."

After her monumental loss, Amy had to learn to survive on her own with their three young children; five-year-old Henry, two-year-old Ruby and Mia, just six months old at the time.




This heart-warming, emotional and honest story takes you through the journey of Amy's ups and downs, her resilience and growth on her self-discovery path; capturing her strength and determination when it all got too much, and she was sinking.




Seven years on from her loss, Amy knows a thing or two about grief. She's learned so much along the way; the good and the bad.

In addition to Sink or Swim, Amy has compiled a Grief Survival Guide, to offer strength, support and encouragement to those also going through their own grief, loss and trauma.
