Finding Purpose Through Grief: The Lomax Family's Journey
Living is, I think, embracing all of it that comes into your life. And so to me, living is: how do I do it authentically and how do I truly show up to allow people to just feel like he says: settle in that settlement of who you are and in the settlement of we can keep moving forward despite a sorrow that might come upon us or the anxiety that might hit us, like we can work through those things, and it's okay, because this is a part of our experience of being here and that's living.
