Sharing the link below to a radio show I did this morning. I was so pleased to have had the opportunity to promote awareness of The Compassionate Friends and The Open To Hope Organizations that offer support, assistance and hope to individuals and families dealing with life’s losses.

This morning I received a wonderful, unexpected birthday gift. It is the link for a YouTube radio show. This is an audio discussion I recently had with Drs. Gloria & Heidi Horsley regarding life, death, love and healing. I am privileged to be associated as a supporter and author for their foundation, Open to Hope, that has helped millions find hope after experiencing loss. I am sharing this with you. Feel free to share it with anyone you may know that can benefit from the free services this foundation offers.

To my Clients, Family and Friends,
It is with much joy and relief that I announce the publication of “Love Never Dies.” This was one of the hardest things I have ever done. As you all know I am quite gregarious and social, but a part of me is very private and it is that part that took me a long time to muster up the courage to share with all of you. That is why it took me almost five years to write this book.
Initially the book was called “Passage of Spirit” but then it changed to “Love Never Dies” which I always would say to my son Michael—-especially after his grandfather died.
If you’d like, check out an amateur YouTube video I did a couple of years ago that summarizes the book.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of counseling aimed at teaching the client how to become healthier and experience a more satisfying, fulfilling lifestyle by modifying certain thought and behavior patterns. It is based on the theory that thought and behavior can affect a person’s symptoms and be an obstacle to recovery. CBT can be helpful in treating a variety of problems, including depression, anxiety and panic disorders, dealing with life event such as: death, divorce, disability, unemployment, issues with children and mounting stress.
In CBT, the therapist and client work together to identify and change negative thinking and behavior patterns that may contribute to emotional and/or physical illness. The focus in therapy is to alter and change these thoughts or self-talks which express one’s beliefs and perceptions. Cognitive approaches focus on replacing one thought, belief, or form of self-talk with another (e.g. My life is miserable to I have purpose in life). Therapy also focuses on teaching the client more positive ways of thinking about and coping with not only illness but also life events and relationships.
