It was a day like any other. Rob Alessi was on a business trip and he and his wife Marie and kids were talking twice a day. Then suddenly, he wasn't calling. The worst had happened- he had died of a brain aneurism and would never return to their happy and satisfying life. Marie, a life coach by profession, had a decision to make. Would she now live a limited and diminished life or would she continue to live the happy and fulfilled life they'd planned? What would it take to choose life, and joy and happiness? Marie was determined to choose joy, stead in the knowledge that her beloved husband would not want less for her. Yes, there would be painful moments. Yes, she would need to make room for her own grief and the grief of her two children. But Marie had to believe it was possible. And as time went on, she found that not only was it possible, but essential. And not only did SHE need to make a commitment to her life, she needed to support others to find their way too.
