There was a time I honestly believed I didn’t deserve to be happy.
The pain of losing Drew was so immense I couldn’t see beyond it. I thought the hopelessness and sadness would never lift, and that my life was going to be sad and heavy forever. Thank God I was wrong! Life has taken me on a journey filled with many twists and turns and though I may not have all the answers, I’m here to share the insights and lessons I’ve gathered along the way.
The Journey Begins
As I mentioned, the pain was unimaginable, and I found myself navigating uncharted waters of grief. But amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged—a desire to find meaning amid sorrow.
From Pain to Purpose
In my quest for healing, I turned to alternative healing modalities, seeking solace in practices often overlooked by conventional methods. While I may not hold a counseling degree, my experiences have shaped me into a compassionate guide for those on their journey through grief.

It’s a journey that has forever changed me, molding me into a vessel of compassion and understanding.
