Picking Up the Pieces: Becoming a Greater Whole What do you do when your whole world suddenly falls apart? One minute married, the next minute single, With kids almost grown and out of the nest, You lose one parent and the other becomes your child, Your life becomes a soap opera, No matter how loud you yell, "cut!" The drama continues. Just how do you turn all those lemons into lemonade? Earth-shattering events can and do happen in any and all aspects of one's life. A relationship ends, a loved one dies, we may lose a job, our health, hopefully not all our marbles... Picking Up the Pieces... is one woman's story of a compound loss that becomes a second chance. It is told with equal measures of courage, candor and comedic relief all rolled into one. It is a journey from heartbreak to healing; caretaking to autonomy; and cyberdating to new love. Most importantly, this is a story of a woman coming into her own power and purpose. Her challenges are not unlike those many endure. However, her alternative view is unique--as an empath and healer with intuitive gifts. In the blink of an eye, an old way of life can vanish forever. And yet as the old world is crumbling, a new and possibly greater world is forming just out of view--though some assembly may be required.
