‘I’d like to invite you to stop here, at the juncture of your disruption. You are already halted by what has happened, so just stop for a little while. Breathe. There will be a time for assessments and action, but not just yet. Be with it. The break offers an opening. Open your heart and enter.’ Everyone experiences transitions and major ‘life-quakes’. Those who are preparing for one such ‘life-quake’ or seeking meaning and growth after the fact will discover inspiration, understanding and guidance here. Grief counselor Claudia Coenen shares her life experience of resilience and growth after multiple losses and interweaves it with professional advice.
