My guest on today's episode is bereaved mom, author and curator of the “Shining a Light on Grief” book series, Susan Lataille. Susan lost her only child in March 2017. She has experienced all of the emotions of grief and learned many lessons along the way.

In this episode, Susan shares what she’s learned in her grief and how she helps others through the Shining a Light on Grief book series and writing as a healing modality. Susan is a shining example of how we can all stay inspired and motivated amidst our most painful and distressing losses that often leave us without hope and a vision for a brighter future.
It was an honour to speak with her in this candid and moving episode. Transcript and chapters available.
