Every Loss Is Significant

Grief is so competitive. When I first started doing this work and started to share my own losses the people with ‘bigger’ tragedies than mine would send me a lot of hate mail. As if I should not be trying to help them. As if I should not be teaching them how their brain could help them come back to life. That I should be…

Get Out of Your House

I wish I personally knew you. I wish we could take our dogs for a walk together. I wish I was there when your loss took place and listened to you until you had nothing more to say.

You Don’t Need to Do It All on Your Own

Up until very recently I was proud of my strength. I thought it was my best trait. I believed it was the reason I survived the tragedies of my life. I was strong. And I was proud of it. But…during a recent business trip someone said something that made me stop in my tracks. “Christina, your strength is your achilles heel.” I knew in that…
