Hello hello hello!

Thank you all so so much for listening to this absolutely gut-wrenching and life changing episode of Advice 4 The Living.  This episode is truly the most heartbreaking topic/email I’ve ever had to record.  My heart aches for anyone else dealing with something like this or feeling this way, and I’m sending my deepest love and  encouragement to anyone who has ever been through something similar.  I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through or are continuing to  go through, and I hope you find solace, peace and comfort in knowing you’re not alone.  

RIP To Barb, Julie, Eliza, Jasper, Kayden and Kash.  Taken too soon but will now be living in total paradise with the Lord.
