When other daughters her age were planning weddings with their mothers, Brenna Crable was buying a tombstone for hers.
And she was MAD.
She felt ripped off and wrestled with the pain; at first, trying to numb it with alcohol. It didn't take long to realize, "This wasn't working."
Feeling the feelings, surrendering to the reality that the happy ending she hoped for would never be, a turning point was realizing her mother completed her journey. Brenna shifted to gratitude; that she had received in 25 years with her mom more than most - and it was enough to carry her through the end of her own journey.
Now a wellness coach and inspirational speaker, Brenna's words of encouragement beckon us all to live in the light. And to know we are loved.
