Sally Grablick; Hope and Help After Loss

Posted on December 8, 2011 - by admin

Sally Grablick lost her son to suicide in 2002.  Her road to recovery began by reading over 100 books on grief, spirituality and the afterlife.  A seeker by nature, she began formulating a recovery plan by exploring the ideas presented within these books.  Knowing her efforts would benefit others, she created the “cliff notes” to grief, and shares the lessons learned, tools used and insights gained in her book, The Reason:  Help and Hope for Those Who Grieve.   https://media.blubrry.com/open_to_hope_1/www.opentohope.com/files/2011/11/Sally-Garblick_02.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download
