Jeni McIntosh-Elkins: Resiliency (It Begins with YOU!)

Jeni McIntosh-Elkins lost her husband at a young age—after they had just adopted teenage children. Despite her ‘difficult’ childhood (an understatement), she put into practice her belief that “family is forever” in a way that also honored all of their grief. Today, she & Theresa Bitner are building a grief community at TornInHalf.com. Listen in to learn how boundaries, self-care & ALL of the emotions, even happiness, factor into the full grieving process … & just what it has to do with Jeni’s personal love-hate relationship with resilience (that you can probably relate to). || This conversation was recorded in April, which is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
