#113 Receiving Help While Helping Someone Die with Rachel Kerr Schneider

from Off The Comma · host Paul Briley

In this episode, we talk to Rachel Kerr Schneider. She describes herself as someone who has supernatural joy and hopes to help others find joy. Rachel lives in the United States. Rachel tells us about sitting on a comma when her husband received a fatal diagnosis with Lou Gehrig’s Disease. When faced with the reality of his death in 3-5 years, she had to begin the work of helping her husband die. In the process, she learned about challenging expectations, facing mortality and allowing herself to receive help. Leaning into her faith and the deepening bond with her husband prepared her for the life that lay ahead of her. Tune in to hear what Rachel means when she says “I was anticipating the grief of what was not going to happen”. You can find Rachel on:      Website:  https://spiritedprosperity.comYouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@SpiritedProsperityInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/rachelkerrschneiderLinkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachelkschneider/Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/rachel.k.schneider.1Rachel would like to acknowledge the following individuals, organizations and/or causes that matter to her and invite you to consider supporting them and/or sharing their messages:My friends and family, especially my Mother in Law, ElaineMy Faith, that has helped me let go of needing to have the answersLive Like Lou Foundation  https://www.livelikelou.org  Our mission is to create and connect communities to stimulate emerging ALS research and uniquely support families affected by Lou Gehrig’s disease.#lougehrigsdisease  #ALS #helpingsomeonedie #fataldiagnosis #neverheardofit #faithandjoy #reflectnotreact #talkaboutthedead #resilienceintragedy #findinghumor #acceptinghelp #donthaveanswers #keepheartopen #choosecommasforreflectionAre you sitting on a comma in your life?
