When we’re in the midst of the chaos, it’s hard to believe that new life and new joy can arise from the debris.  But, it does.
In late 2006, life as I knew it ended when my husband died of prostate cancer.  I immediately broke Rule #1 (make no major decisions in the first year after a significant loss) and embarked on a journey that took me into the heart of darkness and then into a new land of miracles and joy.
