Life coach, relationship coach, spiritual mentor, and author Carmen Silvestro shares that the best ways to get to the other side of a life-shattering experience are (1) to know that where you are right now is not the end, (2) to allow yourself to feel your grief, and (3) to find an amazing team of angels to surround yourself with. She learned these lessons while enduring the death of a family member and a painful and traumatic divorce.
