Show Notes

Grief and happiness are two words that we rarely find in the same sentence, let alone think of them as different parts of the same journey. After an unsolicited and vast experience in grieving, I've discovered that it is possible to grieve and be happy simultaneously, and my mission is to help people realize that. 

 

In this first episode together, I share parts of my journey through grief, a short version of my life's story, and my several encounters with the death of loved ones. We also explore the healing I found in writing, building a community, sharing my experiences, and helping others navigate through their grief. 

 

I've dedicated many years to building groups specifically designed to help people grieving, and I became a Certified Happy for No Reason Trainer. I am also a Grief Transformational Expert and have a Masters' degree in English, with a Concentration in Writing. I have over 30 years of experience teaching writing and composition, writing three textbooks in the process, and I've recently published "Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief, " a book that provides guidance for those navigating rough times. 

 

Tune in and listen to the first episode of Grief and Happiness, and join me in this journey of discoveries, healing, and transformation through a healthy relationship with grief.

  • How I ended up living in Maui, broken, almost alone, and desperately looking for the light at the end of the tunnel (1:15)

  • A letter to Laurie (4:46)
