Details on tWitch’s ‘Two Very Different Personalities’ Revealed

Known for her grace and resilience, the “So You Think You Can Dance” alum channels her pain for purpose, sharing her story to help others find light in their darkest moments. In fact, she recently revealed that she had been working on a memoir for years, but understandably put the project on hold after her husband’s death.

Now she is ready to share her story with the world. The memoir, “It’s Far Away: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light,” will be released on February 8.

The book depicts Alison Holker’s emotional journey after the tragic death of tWitch and her commitment to embracing vulnerability and authenticity.

Reflecting on her late husband, Holker shared with People a poignant observation about his inner struggle. “Looking back, I realize that his ‘two very different personalities’ were increasingly at odds with each other,” she revealed. “What if he felt safe being this person who could have different kinds of energy? You don’t have to be completely different people and separate them from each other.”

In her journey to healing, Holker joined organizations such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and Maple Counseling.

“I was so lucky to have the resources to help me,” she said. “I learned that there are so many other resources that a lot of people don’t know about. I’ve had so many people come to me wanting to talk and if I’ve learned anything it’s that mental health can affect anyone at any time in life.’

Holker emphasized the importance of saving space for those in need. “It’s important to be an open vessel when someone is going through a difficult time. Listen, let them be who they are in that moment and don’t make them feel like it’s wrong,” she explained. “People who have a lot of light have still passed through a lot of darkness. And that’s okay, because you can’t have one without the other.”

Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, a beloved dancer, actor and TV host, was widely known for his role as a DJ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and his performance on So You Think You Can Dance.

Shortly after the news broke, Holker released a statement to People magazine. “It is with a heavy heart that I have to share that my husband Stephen has left us,” she said. “Steven lit up every room he walked into. He valued family, friends and community above all else, and ruling with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father and an inspiration to his fans.”

“To say he left a legacy would be an understatementand his positive influence will continue to be felt,” she added. “I am sure that not a day will pass that we do not honor his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for ourselves and especially for our three children.’

During the time after his death, Holker slowly opened up to a new love and is now meeting with Chief Technology Officer Adam Edmunds. She addressed this new chapter in her life with vulnerability and honesty, stressing that her love for tWitch will always remain.

“I had such a beautiful love with Steven and I still have such a beautiful love with him. But the love I learned only helped me become even better at my next love,” she said. “I feel like I’m even more fit now for this next step in my life, this next chapter with this new, handsome man, Adam. It’s not that one love is superior to another. Just one love prepared me for the next one.”

As Holker continues to heal and inspire, her memoir promises to be a powerful testament to resilience, love, and the human spirit’s ability to endure and thrive despite unimaginable loss.
