In today’s episode, Emily shares her journey learning through loss. We don’t usually make any preparations for the reality of loss, many of us ignore it, or we assume loss won’t happen to us. When loss occurs, we tend to be totally unprepared. From her own personal experiences, Emily knows what loss feels like, and these experiences have led her to becoming a guide for others who need support on their journey as they start to live again and become open to loving again. As Emily shares, her calling and purpose in life appeared early in her youth, when she was fourteen years old she started going on Ambulance calls. Later, she became a licensed vocational nurse, where she also often dealt with crisis, dying patients, and their family. Emily shares her personal journey with loss, and her reflections, wisdom, and vulnerability will remind you that we can love and live through our grief and loss, and open our hearts to joy.
