#47 - Shari O’Loughlin (The Compassionate Friends)

I had the most wonderful conversation with Shari O’Loughlin, CEO of The Compassionate Friends and author of the fascinating book Life From the Ashes: Finding Signs of Hope After Loss. Shari talks honestly about her feelings upon losing her 14-year-old son, Connor, in an airplane crash and how she went on to live her life in mindfulness gratitude. We discuss the topics of guilt, forgiveness, hope, and healing, and the self care tool kit she created  to help her move forward after experiencing profound loss. Shari and I bonded over our shared experiences, how we appreciate precious moments in our daily lives, and the special signs our children leave us that give us much-needed comfort. https://www.compassionatefriends.org/
