Life Transitions: Mother Grief
Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 9:42AM This interview with The Life Change Network got me thinking about how working through my grief about my daughter's stillbirth and my mother's death has influenced who I am as a person and writer.
I'm not the same person I was 15 years ago, when my midwife couldn't find my baby's heartbeat during what was supposed to be a routine prenatal checkup; nor am I the same person I was 8 years ago when my mother entered hospital for some diagnostic tests, only to die suddenly and unexpectedly before those tests could even be completed.
I'm a much stronger and more resilient person. And I am more determined than ever to make every day count. I choose to invest my passion and energy in causes I believe in; and I love to work with others who share my passion for positive change.
