あらすじ・解説
Thanksgiving is a difficult time for grieving parents and families and in today's episode, I discuss how gratitude has helped me through my grief. It sounds insane to search for gratitude after losing a son but I have found it to be a grounding source in my life.
Feeling gratitude doesn't have to mean that we accept what has happened, it means that in spite of what happened, we are making the choice to search outside of our grief for some kind of light. In spite of the unfathomable pain we live with, there is still the glow of love and support that surrounds us, if we choose to see it.
When Sam died, I didn't think I would ever feel better again and if I had relied on time alone, I still don't think I would. However, holding onto gratitude for all that Sam's life gave me and for all the love, support, and kindness that has been shown to me after he died is what keeps me moving forward today.
Happy Thanksgiving. I am grateful for any life I manage to touch by talking about Sam.
