~Will you share a client success story?

I had a recent client come to me prior to her husband dying because she was so overwhelmed with processing his transition right before her eyes. When we met she felt comfort because I was able to listen and hear as she poured out heart. His diagnosis to death journey and our lives were very similar so I could relate and tap into her emotional state. Grief comes in waves and there are many myths that we are taught growing up. In our session we were able to openly uncover her disappointment and I helped to prepare her for what was ahead. God prepares us in subtle ways that we often miss because we are consumed with what we see in front of us as it relates in this ca o the dying and death of a spouse. I taught her that each death/loss is different therefore, the grief will be different. She also learned that she was experience normal reaction to an unwanted change. She was able to prepare for the end of life journey for him because of her willingness to serve selflessly. Her husband has since died and we are working together now to heal and mend her broken her. She tells me how grateful she is that God sent her to our office because she is not allowing herself to be stuck.

My journey through grief opened the door for me to be a humble vessel that God could use because I choose to live in hope and not allow that tsunami of his death to consume my life ad drown me.

God is my source and He has the ultimate plan laid out for us. We have to move out of His way to receive all that is stored up for us. In a time of need we must have faith that He will keep His promises as stated in Jeremiah 29:11. I stand on this scripture and believe in my heart.
