********Announcement. I am so sorry that I missed last month's episode. Thank you so much for your support and love. Everything is fine, we just moved and life was very busy. **********

This month on Authentic Points of View, Danielle speaks to our amazing guest Barbara Hopkinson, who recognizes National Grief Awareness Day by speaking about:

1. How she lost 3 sons and how her 21-year-old son died tragically in a motorcycle accident.
2. After her son's passing, her marriage of 30 years fell apart due to them grieving differently.
3. How she considered committing suicide and realized that she wanted to live for her youngest son.
4. Why she started A Butterfly's Journey, which is now her Non-Profit and why she named it that.
5. Some of the helpful tools and skills she learned, which includes Advanced Grief Recovery Method which she actually teaches as well.
