In a very small corner of the earth, my world shattered when my husband of four years died from advanced cancer. Although I was 33 in 2007 and had what others said was my “whole life” in front of me, I can tell you healing has been anything but easy. Since that day, I have written a best-selling book about grief and loss, and thousands of people, both men and women, have shared their own grief stories with me. Initially, I found a purpose in helping others navigate their own losses.

Most of us will experience both change and loss in our lives, and in certain circumstances, we can feel paralyzed by the feelings that accompany these situations. As a grief/loss author, it isn't unusual for the bereaved to share stories with me of how their feelings of grief are "triggered" when a change happens. Change can be confusing, as can grief.
