Description

Grief and loss can be turned into purpose.




In this episode, we have a serene talk with Dr. Ted Wiard, founder of Golden Willow Retreat. After a series of profound personal losses of his wife, children, and brother, Dr. Ted went on a journey of recovery and spirituality, which led to his creation of Golden Willow Retreat, a sanctuary for grief healing. We get into advice on how these supposed “negative” emotions can be turned into something positive. We also share insights on how to support those in grief and explore ideas for overcoming loss personally!
