Death is the one thing we all have in common and the one thing most of us wish NEVER to discuss.

Shanice’s book Grief on the Playground  is necessary for all children who have lost someone they loved. It is a story which takes you on a ride through the ‘grief rollercoaster’.

In this episode, Shanice and I discussed:

Quote: "Every problem introduces a person to himself"- John McDonnell

A painful experience can abruptly stop anyone in their tracks.  No one plans for painful experiences and no one is exempt from it.  It’s during the most difficult times in our lives that we discover a different version of ourselves. Although our stories can be different, the fight to come through it all unscathed is the goal for everyone.  

In today’s solo episode, we will walk through The Path’s Survival Guide to moving through and from pain to pivoting when necessary.  We don't forget the pain, but we must acknowledge it and seek healing to avoid becoming paralyze from the pain.  It is a process and the time it takes for you to heal will not be the same as another person's healing, but know that you will heal if you are willing to pursue it…just like the BOLD women on The Path Podcast.
