~Share something you are passionate about:
I love swimming, traveling, and helping others through their grief. I also love helping people share their messages. I own a LUI media company and we help individuals to start and host their own Radio and TV shows.
~What are some ways you are helping to bring this forward in the world?
I have created a platform for bereaved family members to share their story. As I write, I am creating a book series that will feature stories from people just like us. Together we will show the world what it is like to lose a loved one. We will teach them
about grief, life after loss, and how we are learning to live again. I want to “help to them to restore their Joy” and remove the power fear holds over those around us. Sharing is part of our healing.
My recent book is a tribute to our loved ones who have passed away. In our Anthology series we will talk about how the loss of our loved ones has shaped our life. In the next story we will talk about our natural reaction of avoiding the trauma of others. The fear that we will say the wrong thing or upset them. Mostly the fear of the unknown. This separates our worlds. One side being those that have lost. The other side being those that have not. When the two sides collide it can bring incredible discomfort. We will talk about the door we pass through when something terrible happens in our lives, like a death. We are thrust into our new reality, losing our self in the transition
