#91 - Colin Campbell

June 12, 2019, Colin Campbell was driving with his wife Gail, 17-year-old daughter Ruby, and 14-year-old son Hart. They were hit by a drunk driver. Ruby and Hart were killed, Colin and Gail survived.  Colin and his wife Gail are an inspiration to me. Colin wrote a book "Finding the Words". It is my favorite book and it's not close. It has impacted me greatly.  We are posting this episode on the 5 year anniversary of Ruby and Harts death. 🖤🖤 Growth in Grief page 266 [Finding the words] "It is hard for me to talk about anything positive in connection with Ruby and Hart's deaths. I bristle whenever anyone suggests that there is some opportunity for personal growth or deeper understanding as a result of grieving. I don't want to be better for having lost my children. I find the idea repulsive. And yet it is undeniable that growth can occur after any new ex-perience, especially the most challenging ones. There are good things that have happened to me in the years since they were killed. I have grown as a person. I am stronger, wiser, fiercer, and more empathetic. I have a deeper understanding of what it means to love someone else. It helps to acknowledge and embrace the positive changes that now enrich me. With so much despondency in my life, I can use all the positivity I can get." -Colin Campbell
