Grief. Loss. Death. Heartbreak.

Words and emotions that I dread, and go to great lengths to protect myself from. Yet, despite all of my efforts, I cannot outrun this inheritance of the human condition.

All of us get scathed…but some, it seems, have been given a double portion.

Annie Horton has experienced a cascading of loss these recent years, and her story of grief seems surreal and too much for anyone to bare, but somehow, she tells her tale with a compelling poise and grace.

She is a Judo move. A courageous soul absorbing hardship, and using its own violent force against itself. In other words…she’s leaned into the pain, and has learned from it.

Now, through her grief support project OUR LOSS, Annie is a guiding light and pathfinder to those lost in pain and searching for a way through.

Take a listen.
