Flooded with Tears
Some families come together during traumatic times, and others drift apart.
We all handle things differently in the best of times.
During traumatic times, these differences can feel even bigger. The families that have the conversations - the uncomfortable conversations - learn how to navigate the unclear healing paths ahead.
Together.
Sisters Molly Cohen & Leslie Rott lost their father unexpectedly almost ten years ago. They had the conversations - and continue to have the conversations, and heal, together.
On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, Molly and Leslie share their story of loss and their different paths towards healing. Respecting those differences led them to heal through writing, again together, in a co written / co authored chapter in Faces of Grief (available this December!)
Connect with them both on social media and meet them in person at Pilates in the Park this August, and Healing Together Through the Holidays this December.
