This episode is a serious and sober chat as I tried to make sense of a huge loss in our lives. This beautiful young woman, taken from us too quickly, Becs Flanagan, my daughter’s best friend. So this week the topic is WHEN GRIEF OVERSHADOWS JOY- how do we make sense of such a loss? How do we find joy? How do we live our lives in a way that honours them. To honour their memory and their legacy. And Bec’s legacy is a beautiful one. She is so loved.

We can't often see what life is teaching us until much much later. That second chance at life, love or career is often a blessing in disguise but rarely seen as such. Maree losing her arm provided her with a second chance but she didn't know it at the time.
