Loss And Grief — Love And Light

— "One's life consists of many cycles and journeys, each of which may be accompanied by some suffering—physical, psychological, or spiritual. Each cycle will likely involve the lives of many others as well, like loved ones, who are essential and influential in our own life." Valeria interviews Kyomi O'Connor — the author of " A Sky of Infinite Blue: A Japanese Immigrant's Search for Home and Self." Kyomi O'Connor is the author of the forthcoming memoir A Sky of Infinite Blue: A Japanese Immigrant's Search for Home and Self published in September 2022. In actively working to address her past emotional abuse, she moved to the States in 1990 to work as a researcher. There she met her husband-to-be, Patrick, an English researcher with Irish heritage. Her life journey led to a career change when the couple moved to San Diego for his job, and when together they entered into Buddhist practice. As Patrick became ill in 2013, Kyomi took care of him for three years until his death. Writing her memoir has been part of her journey to find the wholeness of herself.
