514 Dolores Cruz - A Mother's Journey Through Grief to Hope, Afterlife Signs and "Look Around" Book!
Join Sandra for a deeply moving and hopeful conversation with Dolores Cruz, a certified grief specialist, author, and dedicated leader with the wonderful organization Helping Parents Heal. Dolores's journey began after the sudden, shattering loss of her 24-year-old son, Eric, in a car accident. Raised with a belief in the afterlife but never having experienced a direct connection, she immediately began speaking to her son, asking for a sign and a hug when she needed it most.
In this episode, Dolores shares the beautiful and undeniable signs that Eric immediately began sending to prove he was still right by her side. Hear the incredible stories of how he appeared in a dream to his cousin, sent a meaningful message through a stranger's dog named "Cruz," and orchestrated a hug from a young man who looked just like him outside a grocery store. Dolores also describes the moment she saw Eric, clear as day, in her peripheral vision at a party, a phenomenon many grieving people experience.
Discover the powerful message behind her book's title, "Look Around"—a phrase Eric used to say that has become a sacred practice for being in the present moment, where the divine and our loved ones can be found. Dolores offers profound wisdom on navigating the brutal pain of grief, the importance of community, and how honoring our loved ones through service, like the music scholarship she founded for Eric, can transform our deepest despair into a life of renewed purpose and hope.
