When you lose an important person in your life, your life feels completely shattered. You feel so lost in an unforeseen future. However, because the love you shared, you know and almost force yourself to get up and move onward. But what to do and who am I now?

We discuss how we started to put our pieces  together and create our new stories. How we started with choosing to love ourselves?

We started with removing our lives of bad habits, adding therapy, healthy food choices, travel, exercise and building community. Often the struggle through grief is being ready and open. Often is the unknowing need of inspiration and perspective is all we need. We pushed ourselves and often forced ourselves to find what works, and now we are creating balance. Most importantly, as we were creating change in our lives our children’s lives have pivoted as well.

At present, we find our selves open to moving forward in new relationships while always honoring our loss and grief without guilt.
