The biggest gift that we can give ourselves is to allow ourselves to feel. And when we do that, we open ourselves up to the possibility of experiencing joy, happiness, and a sense of peace that we may have thought was lost forever.
What happens when a life-altering tragedy strikes before you even know the world? Michael Gershe knows all too well. At just eight weeks old, he survived a drunk driving crash that claimed his mother's life. This early loss cast a long shadow over his childhood, affecting his relationships with his father and brother, who were also grappling with their own grief.
In this heartfelt episode of 'Grief Recovery Now', host Charlene Gorzela sits down with Michael to explore how he turned unimaginable pain into a mission of hope and healing. Michael shares how his journey through various stages of grief shaped him and led to the creation of The Magic of Life Foundation. This foundation aims to make communities safer and support children impacted by impaired driving.
Michael's story is not just about surviving; it's about thriving and helping others do the same. He discusses the profound impact of gratitude and the importance of allowing oneself to feel all emotions, even the painful ones. Charlene and Michael also touch on the unique challenges children face in grieving and how adults can support them through this difficult process. This episode is a testament to the power of authenticity and emotional honesty in the healing journey.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that underscores the magic that can be found even in the darkest times.
