from Edge Talk Radio with Angela Zabel · host Angela Zabel / Larry Freeborg

The Choice from Grief to Hope, with Author Larry Freeborg, WisconsinIn one devastating week, Larry Freeborg lost his wife to leukemia—and his job of 18 years. At 40, he was a widowed father of four with no clear path forward. What began in despair inside a psychiatric ward became a life-altering realization: no matter what happens, you are always at choice. Now 86, Larry shares the wisdom behind his book, Always At Choice, and the principles that helped him rebuild his life, raise thriving children, remarry, and guide countless others through loss, fear, and uncertainty. This is a powerful conversation about grief, resilience, responsibility, and reclaiming your power—one choice at a time.Learn more at www.alwaysatchoice.net and www.steppingthroughthegate.comBook     Always At Choice: Strategies for Moving on After the Death of a Spouse or Life Coaching  Set up a free consultation or engage Larry as a coach for an hour or more https://alwaysatchoice.net/work-with-me                                                                                 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larry-freeborg-26b7a31/At age 40, life as Larry Freeborg knew it, ended in a single week.
