Healing From Loss

Whether it is the death of a loved one or the end of a relationship, there is no pain greater than that of loss.

Marie Xochitl had lost loved ones before and felt that pain. Suddenly she found herself in a new place in life, facing a pain she had never faced before and a loss she never anticipated facing: divorce.

She felt sorrow, grief, pain, sadness, fear that she wasn't enough and fear that she would never be loved again.

She road the roller coaster of emotions to the bottom and then she decided to make a change.

In today's "Moving Forward Moment," Marie speaks candidly and from her heart about her struggles, her lessons learned, her greatest sources of inspiration, and what got her to pick herself up off the bottom, and begin making her way to the top.

Marie offers practical advice and guidance to anyone who has endured loss on what you can do to help yourself heal and move forward.

With love,

Jesse Brisendine

10 years ago Bridgey's husband died unexpectedly.

Christina has experienced several tragedies in her life, but the hardest has been the loss of her 22 year old son in 2013.

The night he was killed in a car accident, Christina knew he was gone as she waited for the police to come knock on her door and deliver the horrible news.

Since his loss Christina has remained open to connecting with him and allowing a new relationship to be created with her son in the present.

In today's Moving Forward Moment Christina talks about, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful parts about humanity - that we can still have connections with our loved ones after they are gone. She shares some of the ways her and her son connect and how being open to him, has allowed her to heal and move forward.

i hope you find as much value in Christina's interview as I have.

In 2007 Lisa's best friend was killed in a car accident. This marked the beginning of a succession of losses where nearly every year for the next 10 years, Lisa lost a loved one.

She (as perhaps you have) struggled. She struggled to be herself again. She struggled to get back to "normal." She struggled to be "ok" for the benefit of others.

In today's "Moving Forward Moment," Lisa shares what has been most challenging for her as well as how learning to be selfish has been essential in helping her heal and move forward.

I hope you find as much value in Lisa's interview as I do. :)

With love,
