After her first daughter, Kara Meyer Dulan, died at home from SIDS at two months old, Lily started a foundation in her child’s memory called The Kara Love Project. The Kara Love Project has teamed with local, national and international organizations such as the Unatti Foundation in Nepal, Venice Arts in Los Angeles and Foster Nation to serve marginalized youth. It has also developed and supported programming to benefit the mental and physical wellbeing of seniors in Los Angeles County.

She has developed a new and unique therapy for healing and self-discovery. which can be harnessed in every facet of our lives. It led her to write "Giving Grief Meaning", which was released December 1, 2020 from Mango Press.

The pandemic affected us all, and after a year of isolation and pain, the entire world is ready to heal from the collective grief we’ve all felt - stress, sorrow, loss and mourning - in unprecedented ways. We also fight to remember and speak the names of those we've lost, something Dulan has already done through the development of The Name Work® method. She has created this method and is using it to help people move through trauma and grief.

Dulan facilitates The Name Work workshops and educational events in the greater Los Angeles area for universities, organizations, corporations, and small private groups. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two daughters.
