The lessons Life teaches are often connected to loss.  It gets our attention like nothing else can and we respond with WHY? 

Instead, we should ask HOW? How can I grow from this ? How can I change and become better than I was before?

In healing after loss, I had to begin creating a new life for myself.  That included starting to figure out what no longer worked in my life.  From there, it was a quick jump to figuring out what I wanted in place of the unhappiness of grief and loss.  I came across a magical piece of advice that inspired my healing to begin with one sentence.  Here is whatt I learned.

Long before losing Jerrod, I had faced challenges in life that led to pain, unhappiness and ultimately to growth.  Life is a journey to becoming a better person- more aware, more loving, more giving.  It is a lifelong journey, and we are all here to walk our paths.  Come along for the adventure!

These longer episodes are part of my book and take place many years in the past.  This is my story.

The biological changes that loss creates in your body are real and lasting.  To heal., you must understand what is occurring.

Our lessons are sometimes delivered in the most unusual ways.
