I found myself sitting last week in the quiet, remembering the holidays with my son....
his laugh, the way he lit up a room without even trying, the way he taught me what love actually feels like.
And suddenly… I was back on the floor of my living room.
Heart cracked wide open.
Breath shallow.
Back to the night where we were told the most devastating news of our lives.
Realizing that surrender wasn’t giving up…
It was allowing myself to feel everything without shame, guilt, fear.
Surrender meant letting love rush back in.
Letting the memories come.
Letting myself be held by something bigger than the pain.
As we inch closer and closer to the holidays.... many of us can FEEL alone.
If you are grieving this season, you’re not alone.
My book FROM DEATH TO LIFE THE INCREDIBLE TRUE STORY OF ANTHONY JOSEPH, I carry the story of Anthony and me.
The love, the pain, the healing....
Grief shattered me, shaped me, and ultimately awakened me.
Maybe it will hold you through this season too.
As my son always says, We are all connected...
