When We Recover Loudly We Keep Others From Dying Quietly

When We Recover Loudly, We Keep Others from Dying Quietly

I watched my first husband die of cancer at the age of 30. He was a private man, and he didn’t want to talk about his illness. He didn’t want anyone to know that he was dying. So he suffered alone, in silence. His death could have been more peaceful if he had allowed himself to lean on others. If he had known that people loved him and wanted to help, he wouldn’t have had to bear his burden alone.

I’ve since dedicated my life to helping others avoid my husband’s tragic fate. I want people to know that they are not alone; that there are people who care about them and want to help. I want them to know that they can talk to someone, and that they don’t have to go through this alone. I am a testament to how therapeutic it is to share your story and be heard. It is the reason I am so compelled to help others find solace, comfort, and peace as they navigate the challenging terrain of grief and loss.
