What happens when a successful, capable business woman experiences unimaginable loss? For Adriana Monique Alvarez, the still birth of her daughter plunged her into a kind of grief and isolation she had never experienced before. She longed for just one person to acknowledge the depth of her loss and offer support and comfort. Unlike her successes, there was nothing that would take away the pain or lead to a different outcome. But over time, Adriana was able to find support and nurture by talking about her loss and by allowing her grief to matter to HER. Now she has become an impassioned advocate for other families facing the same loss. She knows first hand what a difference it makes when someone hears the pain and offers solace and understanding.
On Good Grief we explore the losses that define our lives. Each week, we talk with people who have transformed themselves through the profound act of grieving. Why settle for surviving? Say yes to the many experiences that embody loss! Grief can teach you where your strengths are and ignite your courage. It can heighten your awareness of what is important to you and help you let go of what is not.
