Do you ever find yourself grieving the life you would be living?

Lisa Appelo found herself in this mindset after the unexpected death of her husband, Dan. Being a young widow and raising their seven children as a single mom was not the life she had pictured. As Lisa navigated through the grief she felt personally, and helped her children through theirs, she wondered if life would ever be good again. Would she ever smile again? Would she ever experience joy again?

Lisa now shares the lessons she has learned to help encourage other women experiencing loss. In this episode, we talk about this and her new book, Life Can Be Good Again: Putting Your World Back Together After it All Falls Apart. 

One of my favorite parts of this conversation and the message within the book is that it blankets a myriad of different losses. I know that with Mother's Day coming up this week, there may be some of you who have experienced a loss of your mom or a child. Lisa's words and the message within this episode is meant to encourage and meet you just where you are!
