Helping Others In Their Journey
Lessons in Loss, Love and Resilience
Excited to be one of the keynote speakers in July for the Compassionate Friends National Conference in Bellevue Washington.
People ask me all the time how and/or why I speak. They ask if it is “healing”. To me, it is not healing as much as it is fulfilling.
During Alaina’s life, I could never imagine how a parent could go through the grief of losing their child. Yet the resilience to endure the pain and heartache was supported through so many others love and support. After Alaina’s murder the love from our communities, as well as the acts of kindness helped us get through our darkest time.
Sharing my story with others that are going through their stages of grief, if it helps one person, it is fulfilling. It is heartwarming to be with someone that is suffering from such heartache. To think over 1000 people will be sitting and holding their grief while I share my messages of loss, love and resilience, I hope one of them will walk away with just a little bit of comfort knowing they can and will get through this journey.
If you know someone stuggling with their journey let them know about this conference, they give great support and comfort to so many. compassionatefriends.org
