About The Book

Among Cherry Blossoms and Unicorns is a deeply personal memoir by Nerina Moodley – author, coach, speaker and founder of Ikigai Awakening. Written in the aftermath of profound grief, this book is a tribute to love, loss, healing and the quiet magic of becoming whole again.

With raw honesty and poetic reflection, Nerina invites readers into her journey after the passing of her beloved husband, Dean. What unfolds is more than a story of heartbreak – it’s a journey of rediscovery, spiritual awakening and the power of choosing life even when it feels unbearable.

This memoir is both a legacy of love and a guiding light for anyone navigating grief, transformation or the search for meaning. It is a reminder that even through the darkest seasons, beauty can bloom and unicorns, however unlikely, still have a place in the story.

I just finished reading your book. It is equal parts gut-wrenching and admirable. You have articulated the feeling of grief in a precise and quantifiable way the likes of which I have never read before; it gave me a better understanding of what all of you went through. I enjoyed reading about your years-long journey of finding your 'reason for being' through travel, communities, signs in unexpected places, and trying to take at least one step forward each day. All in all, lovely read. I wish you all the best for your future endeavours.

It was perfectly written and paints a wonderful picture of how all of the grief journeys are the same but so different. I absolutely loved reading it and recognizing the journey you've been on and the journey we will need to make to find our true north. Thanks for sharing your story, it will definitely inspire many!
