The other side of it, by giving back, was so powerful and so moving to me that, oh, now I'm feeling guilty because I feel so good and so I can't say powerful in the way of physical power. Almost A Year of due diligence before this came to fruition and it took Two Years before we raised a million and a half dollars. So it evolved in such a beautiful way that it gave me life. It gave me purpose, it was the biggest gift, and Years Later I am still blown away by the gift of my loss and the grief by just opening up That Day, that door that, yes to, I want to do something in his memory.
Grief can feel like an insurmountable mountain, but what if it could also be a source of profound purpose? In this heartfelt episode of 'Grief Recovery Now', host Charlene Gorzela sits down with Catherine 'Cat' Curry-Williams to discuss her journey of turning unimaginable loss into a beacon of hope.
After the devastating loss of her newborn son Shane in 1997, Cat channeled her grief into founding Shane’s Inspiration, a global non-profit dedicated to creating inclusive playgrounds and educational programs for children with disabilities. This initiative not only honors Shane's memory but also fosters compassion and unity among children of all abilities. Throughout the episode, Cat opens up about her personal healing process and how the act of giving back has been a cornerstone of her recovery.
She also shares insights into the creation of Shane's Inspiration and its impact on communities worldwide. For anyone navigating the choppy waters of grief, Cat's story offers a lifeline of hope and a reminder that even in our darkest times, we can find ways to bring light to others.
