In February, 2023, a darling little 8 year old boy in my community fell off the slide at school and passed away as a result of those injuries. I wondered how I might help, and wished I had more insights on what to do. I attended Dallin’s funeral and was blown away at the powerful sermon on miracles that his beloved mama, Kathryn Cunningham, shared with all those in that packed church. I am honored to share this sacred episode with you, where we talk about grief, Dallin, community, and miracles. You’ll receive insights on how to show up for people in your circle who are grieving, and be inspired to look at your own life through the lens of miracles.
