Navigating Losses and Grief?
Think Again!!
I pray to have influence! I am proof that God uses his light to shine through others! “Heavenly Father, I may not understand how everything will work out, but I trust you. I have faith at this very moment that you are touching lives. Opening doors and lining up opportunities for people reading this book today. Things may look dark and bleak right now, but having faith in You God, I know that my dawn is coming one day too.”
I will help people overcome their grief by motivating them to tell their story in my next book, and at the same time help them heal their hearts like mine.
Do not lose faith. The Lord still has a plan with you. You will never forget the people you have lost, but you can learn how to live without them. You also feel stronger and want to speak about them. They were part of your life.
You do not have to forget them. You do not have to stop speaking about them! You can live hundred percent normal again and not feel guilty because you are still alive.

Autobiography
Throughout my life, I have experienced significant loss, including the passing of my entire immediate family. This profound experience has instilled in me a strong desire to live a long and fulfilling life, particularly because my loved ones did not have that opportunity. I have set a personal goal to reach the age of eighty-eight, which is double the age my father attained before his passing at forty-four. I place my trust in divine providence and pray for the blessing to grow old alongside my children and grandchildren. It is my hope to share with them the cherished memories and lessons from my time with my parents and siblings.
There are so many thoughts that brought me to this day. We sometimes think. “Why God, are all these things happening to me? Why have I already lost the family I grew up with? I am only 46 years old?” And then, that is when you must THINK AGAIN. Stand back and look at what God has blessed you with already in your life!

Life? Loss? Grief?
Life can feel like a delicate thread—beautiful, yet heartbreakingly fragile. When loss strikes, especially on the scale of losing those you love most, it reshapes your very existence. Grief is not a single moment but a relentless journey—waves that pull you under just when you think you’ve learned to breathe again. It changes the way you see the world, the way you see yourself, and yet, in its shadows, you may also find unexpected strength, deeper compassion, and a renewed understanding of what truly matters
