What do you do when someone you love dies?  Especially when it isn’t the natural order of things?Well, you can do what I did.  You let yourself feel, all of it.  You don’t want to but you need to.  You don’t run, hide or look for a shortcut although I would definitely have gone for that.  I’m your Grief and Gratitude guest this week and I recount the time when our child died.  Not just the sadness of it all but the hope that can be found during, and especially after.  In fact I turned the whole experience into a project (book) Standing Tall: A Collection of Hope.

I know I’m sharing something I stand to profit from.  That’s not my point at all and in fact I care little about that.  My intention is to support you in a time of need and for you to realize you are hardly alone.  Beyond that, that you would seize the hope. It’s there.  It’s ripe and it’s ready for you.

And the gratitude?  Yes, it’s there in abundance.  My advice there?  You have to practice gratitude to get good at.  Just like anything.  Check out the blog to see what I mean.
