Welcome…We are so happy you found us!

• Have you suffered a heartbreaking loss?
• Do you also feel lost as a person?
• Are you wondering how you will ever be able to put your life back to together?
• And why even bother?

You are not alone…

Adversity will happen to all of us…that’s life…loss of a spouse, relatives, or friends. Loss of health, or a chronic disease to deal with. Loss of financial or physical independence. Loss of community due to a forced move or downsizing.

Experiencing life changing loss can leave individuals feeling overwhelmed and adrift. Cultivating resilience is essential for healing and growth. Resilience skills empower us to navigate the emotional turmoil that comes with loss and grief, fostering a sense of agency and hope. By developing coping strategies, such as mindfulness, positive reframing, and finding support, we can transform our pain into a source of strength. Learning to adapt and embrace change allows us to rebuild our lives and discover new purpose. Resilience not only aids in recovering, but also paves the way for thriving in the face of future challenges.

What we do…

With our Resilient Living Guide, we have developed a framework to rebuild your life.

​

• Discover and realign with the person you are now.
• Develop self care physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
• Build new relationships.
• Uncover new possibilities of purpose and meaning.
• Find new ways to be of service and give back in your community.

Why we do this?

Mike and I (Susan) have both experienced heartbreaking loss. I was a caregiver for 8 years to my husband with progressing Alzheimer’s disease. Three years ago, I made the painful decision to place him in memory care. He no longer recognizes me, or his adult children, or grand children. Although he is still alive, I am an Alzheimer’s widow. All I can do now is make sure he is safe, comfortable, and all the bills are paid.

​

Five years ago, Mike suddenly lost his wife to cancer. They had a fulfilling forty eight year marriage, with four children, and now seven grand children. They lived in their family home for forty years, and were involved in their church and community. The retirement Mike and his wife planned will never be.

​

Mike and I got acquainted in the grief support group at our community center. After six months, we felt ready to move forward… but how? We got involved and started a bi-weekly Resilient Living Group and weekly email letter. Over the last couple years, we have both gone through certification programs to deepen our skill set, and to learn more about the science of resilience. Publishing our weekly Resilient Living Guide gives us new purpose out of our losses. Our greatest satisfaction comes from reaching back to help others beginning to navigate the seas of adversity to thrive again after loss.

​
