Lightkeeper: Stacy Bass on Grief, Photography, and the Power of Memoir
"Grief doesn’t end—it lives alongside joy, love, and purpose. You can carry both." — Stacy Bass
In this deeply moving episode of Unquarking Your Story, host Mike Carlon sits down with author and photographer Stacy Bass to explore her memoir Lightkeeper, a poignant reflection on love, loss, and legacy. Stacy shares how personal tragedy led her to write, how photography became a portal to memory, and why keeping the light alive—through images and words—is a powerful act of healing. Whether you're navigating grief or simply seeking inspiration, this conversation offers comfort, insight, and hope.
Key Takeaways:
Stacy Bass began writing as a way to process the sudden loss of her father and cousins in a plane crash.
Her memoir Lightkeeper evolved from private reflections and social media tributes into a published book.
The concept of “light keeping” blends photography and storytelling to preserve memory and legacy.
Stacy’s living tribute to her mother—posting daily photos and reflections—became a transformative act of love.
She encourages others to use family photos as writing prompts to connect with lost loved ones.
The book’s title reflects multiple layers: photography, personal legacy, and guiding others through grief.
EMDR therapy and writing together helped Stacy shift how she holds grief in her body.
