Turning to drugs or alcohol, like so many other people may have, I know, I wonder that too, I think- the family morals and values and having people like my grandparents, my aunts and uncles having a strong family foundation, even though it was shuttered and we were disconnected. But I had people, connections, attachments, relationships.
Imagine waking up one day to find your entire world shattered. That's exactly what happened to Anna Seewald in Armenia when a devastating earthquake struck, taking away her mother, younger cousin, and countless friends and relatives. This episode of 'Real Life Resilience' dives into Anna's journey from heartbreak to healing. Forced to move to a foreign country, Anna discovered the power of community bonds and connections in overcoming such profound loss.

This episode isn't just about Anna's past; it's about her present and future too. She shares valuable insights on the importance of accepting help and sharing burdens, emphasizing that no one should have to face life's toughest moments alone.
