The Parables of Grief episode 1, The Parable of the New baby
01/12/25 • 12 min
It seemed that the joy of a new grandbaby would be lessened because my husband was on the other side of the veil without me. It seemed like the ability to rejoice in my new grandbaby would be taken from me because of the loss of my husband, but happily, it was not. When my grandbaby was born, I learned that the sun does come up after something horrible and that the darkness, the storm, and the trauma all abate. I also learned that through the atonement of Jesus Christ, I have the ability and strength to do difficult things.

"Wendy has a beautiful way of sitting in the deep end of the ocean with you. Her presence alone is healing. She meets you where you’re at and doesn’t push you any further than where you want to go. She gently nudges you into new places with new perspectives. She is highly intuitive, sensitive and compassionate. She brings a depth to the table you rarely see. Her experiences have given her an extraordinary level of understanding and a safe place to walk to as she is a safe harbor fill of strength and integrity. She is raw and real and beautifully vulnerable and she is exceptional at conveying the words that are hard to find. She is a rare one." Christi D.
