Casey Mulligan Walsh is a former speech-language pathologist who writes about life at the intersection of grief and joy, embracing uncertainty, and the nature of true belonging. Her essays have appeared in the New York Times, HuffPost, Next Avenue, Modern Loss, WebMD, Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine, as well as in Split Lip, Hippocampus, Beyond, The Manifest-Station, Barren Magazine, Emerge Journal, Five Minute Lit, and other literary magazines. In addition, her work was included in Daring to Breathe, an anthology about living with the foreverness of grief. Casey is passionate about supporting those who grieve all manner of losses, including those that are spoken of and those too often shrouded in silence.
She also serves as an ambassador for Family Heart Foundation, an organization dedicated to raising awareness of the genetic lipid disorder that has affected her family across generations.
Casey lives in upstate New York with her husband, Kevin, a chatty orange tabby, and too many books to count. When not traveling, they enjoy visits from their four children and ten grandchildren—the very definition of “the full catastrophe.”
