My Journey
This Is My Real Life
I’m Kristin Biggs-McElroy—a mother, a wife, and a woman navigating life after unimaginable loss.
I’m also the author of Release & Unleash Through Grief, a book created from my own journey through healing, reflection, and learning how to keep going.
My life changed forever after the loss of my husband, Reshaud Biggs Sr., and later, my son, Reshaud “Shaudy” Biggs Jr., both to gun violence.
There are no words that fully explain that kind of loss…but I know I’m not the only one who has had to learn how to live while carrying it.
Because of that, I’ve committed my life to creating space—for honesty, for healing, and for real conversations around grief and trauma.
Through my writing, speaking, and the work I do in the community, I share my journey openly…hoping it helps someone else feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.
I’ve had the opportunity to speak in schools, organizations, and community spaces—connecting with youth, parents, and individuals navigating their own experiences with loss.
But beyond any title or role, I’m simply someone who understands what it means to keep going…even when life looks nothing like you imagined.
And if you’re here, I want you to know—you don’t have to do it alone.
What I've Created
A book created from my own journey through grief—filled with reflections, writing prompts, and moments to help you process at your own pace.
I share my story to create space for honest conversations around grief, healing, and life after loss—meeting people where they are.
A healing retreat for mothers navigating the loss of a child—created to honor our children, connect, and find moments of peace together.
After losing my husband, he left behind three properties that introduced me to real estate in a way I never expected.
I renovated all three and later went on to purchase two more--flipping one and keeping one as I continued learning and building along the way.
Built in honor of my son, Reshaud “Shaudy” Biggs Jr.—keeping a promise and carrying his name forward with purpose.
My first entrepreneurial venture—something I built, grew, and poured into for over a decade.
A part of my story that will always matter.
