Beyond Grief to What's Beautiful with Sally McQuillen

In this powerful episode, I speak with Sally McQuillen about her life, love, and loss and her new profoundly moving book, Reaching for Beautiful - A Memoir of Loving and Losing a Wild Child. When Sally’s twenty-one-year-old son died in a boat accident, her greatest fear was realized. Christopher was often drawn to risk and struggled with addiction. In this riveting memoir, Sally captures the wild ride of his jam-packed life and her deep love for him while reflecting on her childhood and family’s legacy of alcoholism. In this moving and deeply personal interview, we discuss how life can not only continue after profound loss but how it can become even more sacred and beautiful. Sally is a psychotherapist in private practice specializing in addiction, grief, and trauma recovery.  Sally's website - https://www.sallymcquillen.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
