Transforming Grief, Finding Purpose with Phil Cohen - Episode 270

Episode 270 is about dealing with grief.

Sometimes life isn't all about rainbows and butterflies. We are faced with tragedy. Phil Cohen lost his 14-year-old son in an accident. His son went on a ferry trip and a storm came by and they never came back. The coast guards searched for 7 days, still, no bodies were found. Those 7 days were grueling to Phil, he was in the storm with him during those 7 days.

Griefing is a difficult process. We don't know how or what to feel. We get lost on what to do. Phil, after a long time healed. He heard his son's voice telling him to let go and live his life and that's what he did. You all know what they say, when you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. Are you prepared for the storms you are about to encounter? Watch this episode now.
