In this episode, Grief Coach Wendy Sloneker remembers people she has known and lost and how their lives and passing have impacted others, including Wendy and her work.

Even in remembering those who have passed, we can remember that we aren't alone. Those we remember remain with us.

One friend referred to herself as "Polyanna of the Apocalypse" — another said that too many of us live our lives "asleep." The wisdom and humor of people really should never be lost. And it won't, as long as those who remain, remember.

Loss and pain are hard. But they can also act as lessons, if we're open to the gifts they give us.

If grief has caused you to close yourself off, please reach out to Wendy. A complimentary call could help set you on the path to healing. You'll find Wendy at wendysloneker.com
