Grief, Healing, And Spirituality

— Anitra Marie Simmons found art, writing and mediumship through grief and loss.  This is how she changed her life to find purpose and meaning again.  The ultimate healing from Anitra's grief came from spiritual connection and art. Anitra helps others in their journey of grief, as it never goes away in this physical lifetime.  We learn to live with the loss and must find individual ways of peace and purpose to move forward. Valeria Teles interviews Anitra Marie Simmons — the author of "Embracing Life From Death: A Caregivers Journey Through Glioblastoma, Grief and Healing." Anitra Simmons writes a raw, open and vulnerable account of her journey through what it's like to travel through terminal illness, death and a spiritual awakening.  She gives vision to her readers of her emotions and heartache and her mission is to bring continued awareness to grief and help others find their way through this painful journey.  She shares her path to healing by becoming an artist and writer and how she embraced spirituality to ease her pain, which led her to mediumship. She currently will be releasing her second memoir When Breath is Stronger than Tears by early 2022 and will follow with an illustrated children's book based on her daughter that passed away from Melanoma in 2017. Her art is continuously posted on Instagram and Facebook.
