Hello, beloved readers. Today, I want to share with you a personal journey that has profoundly shaped my life and mission. It's a story of transformation – from profound grief to empowering resilience.

The Fateful Day: The journey began on a fateful day in February 2018, when my world was turned upside down. The loss of my youngest daughter, Allia, was a shock that shattered my reality. In the blink of an eye, every plan, every dream I had, vanished. I was left to navigate a new, daunting reality – one where I had to learn to live again, not just for myself but for my family.

The Struggle and Realization: In the aftermath, I grappled with overwhelming emotions. I was caught in a tug-of-war between my instinct to be strong and the crushing weight of my grief. But it was my eldest daughter who unwittingly guided me towards a pivotal realization. Her constant inquiries of "Are you okay, Mom?" were a wake-up call. I recognized that to be a pillar for her, I had to embrace my vulnerability and heal myself.

The Journey of Healing: My path to healing was not a straight line. It involved delving into practices like yoga, not for joy initially, but for a different kind of pain – one that would distract me from my heartache. But unexpectedly, it opened doors to new joys and learnings. I delved into memory retention courses, fearing the loss of memories of Allia, but this fear turned into a love for learning and growth.

The Epiphany: A simple yet profound epiphany came during a walk. I realized that happiness is our baseline; grief and joy can coexist. This realization was liberating. It allowed me to redefine my life, not as a series of lost dreams, but as a canvas for new, meaningful experiences.

Transforming Grief into Empowerment: My journey taught me the immense power of transforming grief into empowerment. I became dedicated to helping others navigate their grief, understanding the value of compassion and empathy. My online course, 'Grief Untangled,' was born from this passion – a guide to help others not just survive, but thrive in the face of life's toughest challenges.

Conclusion: My message to you, dear readers, is this: Embrace your scars. They are not just reminders of your pain, but also of your incredible resilience and capacity for growth. Remember, it's not about moving on, but moving forward, with your loved ones forever a part of your journey.
