This week on RISE Together, we share a really beautiful, hard, important, joyful conversation with Brittany and Daniel Brooker about moving through the grief of really hard experiences to find the beauty of life on the other side. Both Brittany and Daniel found themselves widowed in their twenties, trying to raise young children through incredibly difficult circumstances. How they chose to approach building a life together after tragedy brings incredible lessons for all of us.
You can learn more about Daniel, as well as view his upcoming speaking engagements by visiting his website. You can read more about Brittany's journey and listen to her music at her website.
