Grief Talk w/ Vonne Solis

In this deeply moving episode in Part 11 of the Soul Sisters series, I sit down with my soul and real-life sister, Brenda Rachel, to share our powerful journeys from suffering to healing, and the joy we have now reclaimed.

This episode is for those who take a keen interest in finding ways to navigate past or current hardships, are eager to explore healing strategies and gain spiritual insights for optimal personal growth.

We explore the profound challenges of bereavement and chronic illness, focusing on my personal journey of choosing healing over suffering after the devastating loss of my daughter to suicide in 2005, and I share the pivotal moment early in my grief when I decided not to live in perpetual suffering.

Brenda opens up about her decades-long battle with fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and emotional hardship, including a prognosis at age 42 that would confine her to a wheelchair and end the active and fulfilling life she was then enjoying. Her story of overcoming adversity and embracing joyful living, despite ongoing challenges, is deeply inspiring.

Together, we also discuss the crucial role of a spiritual practice and community support in staying committed to healing and crafting a life filled with peace, joy, purpose and contentment.
