About Pinkal

Pinkal is a daughter, sister, wife, and mother of two girls. She was born in India, but her family immigrated to the United States when she was six months old. Despite living in America her whole life, she was raised in a home with strong Indian values and culture in Southern New Jersey. She now resides in New England, where she is raising her daughters with the same Indian values and culture. 

Pinkal earned her master’s degree in nursing administration and has held various roles in her nursing career, ranging from hands-on patient care in Oncology to corporate compliance and administration. She is currently taking time to focus on her family after the birth of her second daughter. 

Unfortunately, Pinkal has had to cope with the death of family members, including patients who became a part of her “family”. Pinkal has used her core values to help navigate those deaths. It was the passing of her father that led her to realize that she had a new responsibility as a mother. While struggling with her grief, she needed to help her daughter mourn the death of her Nana (grandfather). This life-shattering event led Pinkal to search for ways to help her daughter understand death and cope with the changes that come with it.
