There was a time I was buried so deep in grief I did not want to live. Unknowingly, I had detached myself from my life, my faith, and my family. For several years, I struggled through suffering as I searched for answers. It was the journey through grief, the effort to make sense of my personal loss of death, divorce, and disease where I discovered the tools I needed to recover from tragedy. It took some time, but one day I emerged from the ashes of brokenness with a new and more meaningful life.
With that being said, I did not wake up one day and choose grief as my life’s work. As a matter of fact, I only wanted to move on with my life. But one day I realized suffering is the common thread we, as humans, share. And if I had learned anything I had learned tragedy would eventually touch the lives of my children and the lives of the loved ones around me. Knowing this, it became my mission and my purpose in life to teach others how to grieve, mourn, and recover from loss.
The Center for Grief|Recovery was created with the hope it will live on long after I am gone. Therefore, as you feel led please volunteer, donate, offer suggestions, and become involved in making the Center for Grief|Recovery a successful resource for the broken hearted.
Enjoy life, love deeply, and live passionately,
Marsha
