Gemini Adams
Gemini Adams is a multiple-award winning author and grief expert who studied with CRUSE, the UK's leading bereavement care organization, and the National Federation of Spiritual Healers. In 2006, she was awarded the Winston Churchill Fellowship, which led to her research into The Role of Love in Palliative Care. In 2007, Gemini co-produced a short documentary, entitled Legacy of Love, which won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Elevate Film Festival.
Subsequently, Gemini wrote her multiple award-winning book, Your Legacy of Love: Realize the Gift in Goodbye, which gives a personal account of her mothers battle against cancer and the insights gained from her bereavement, including the idea that survivors need more than the financial assets that are typically left in a final Will and Testament. Gemini’s proposition is that the bereaved will benefit more from our emotional assets — stories, values, wisdom and affection — precious gifts, which can be recorded and left through a Legacy of Love.
This book earned Gemini the Mom's Choice Gold Award 2010, the Dad's Seal of Approval, the National Best Book Award 2009 and came in as a finalist in the International Book Awards 2010.
Gemini is the daughter of late broadcaster and journalist Andrea Adams, who was the first person to publicize the significance of workplace bullying. It is believed that Andrea coined the expression "workplace bullying" in 1988. Andrea's pioneering book, entitled Bullying at Work: How to Confront and Overcome It, was published by Virago in 1992. Andrea Adams died from ovarian cancer in 1995.
