Anyone who is navigating grief often feels like there is no end to the pain. Life as they know it is over and there doesn’t feel like there is a way out. Karen Johnson’s professional career as a federal judge came to an abrupt halt when she lost her 27-year-old son to a heroin overdose. Rather than grieve in a way that made people around her comfortable, she did the unexpected. She quit her lifetime appointment career, sold her house with all her belongings, and traveled the world, finding a healing practice along the way. Karen shares her journey of transformation. Karen is a graduate of Georgetown Law Center, a former Fulbright Scholar in Afghanistan, and holds Masters Degrees in Public Health and Public and International Affairs. She is a retired federal administrative law judge who practiced criminal and energy law for more than 30 years. She also is a former US Army officer, Major, USAR. Karen is the author of the book, Living Grieving: Using Energy Medicine to Alchemize Grief and Loss.
