Can you really be thankful for loss?

Jessica | March 16, 2015

Thankful, is rarely a word to describe your feelings after losing a loved one to suicide.  While I am not thankful that my father died, I am thankful for the lessons I have learned during my grief journey.  So for today’s Motivational Monday, I encourage you all to find something to be thankful for.  I promise you there IS ALWAYS something to be thankful for.
