Just let the person know that you're there for them. Let them know that they're not alone. Give them your phone number, offer to bring them food, just check in on them randomly. I was very fortunate that a lot of my friends from Charlottesville came back to Montana for the funeral to support me. I'll be forever grateful for that.
Christine Lazorishak's life has been a rollercoaster of profound loss and incredible resilience. At just nine years old, she faced the sudden death of her father, a tragedy that left a lasting impact on her young mind. This early trauma sparked symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), manifesting in compulsive behaviors and overwhelming anxiety about causing harm.
Fast forward to adulthood, and Christine's world was shattered once more when her husband heroically lost his life saving their daughter from a rogue ocean wave.

In this episode of 'Speaking Candidly with Candace', she opens up about her journey through grief, anxiety, and OCD. Christine's story is not just about enduring pain but also about finding the strength to seek help and rebuild her life.
Her candid recounting of her struggles and triumphs serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar challenges. Tune in to hear Christine's inspiring tale of survival, advocacy, and the relentless pursuit of healing.
