[Delray Beach, Florida] — Death Is Just Around the Corner is a bold and intimate new memoir-in-recipes from author and lifelong movement enthusiast Ursula, exploring how food, endurance, and curiosity became the literal medicine that kept her alive through grief, loss, and unthinkable challenge.

Equal parts honest storytelling and practical nourishment, Death Is Just Around the Corner goes beyond the typical cookbook or memoir. It carries readers through:

• personal stories of trauma and recovery

• the wisdom of shared meals and running with community

• recipes rooted in lived experience, not perfection

• reflections on what it means to stay when disappearing feels easier

In this vivid blend of humor and heart, Ursula proves that survival isn’t about crossing one finish line — it’s about learning to live whole in every imperfect moment.

“Some days I didn’t know if I’d make it,” Ursula says, “but the food I cooked and the people I trusted kept me here long enough to tell the story.”

• Nourishing recipes that fueled real days, real miles, and real survival

• A mix of memoir and pragmatic nourishment, and resilience journal written with warmth and cheek
