Ep 42 From Light to Dark To Light with Bonnie Ross-Parker
Show Notes

I became a fan from the moment I first met Bonnie Ross-Parker at a networking event in Atlanta 8 or 9 years ago. This woman is a powerhouse with a gentle heart for service. Little did we know that we would become forever connected through the grief of losing our precious sons. Bonnie’s son, Glenn, passed away early the morning of the Haiti earthquake in 2010. She has been one of my fiercest supporters, both before Greg left this life and now that we’re on this path together. I’m honored she spent some time chatting with me for this episode.

  • How her past experiences prepared assisted on her grief journey
  • The “fun” skill her son, Glenn, used to teach his students after school
  • Why the timing of Glenn’s passing was a shock, but the reality of it wasn’t
  • Her beliefs on “asking why” and “giving up”
  • The question to ask in place of asking “why”
  • Something that helped her on her grief journey
  • One way she chooses to honor her son, her mother and her father who are all in Spirit
  • The vision her sister-in-law saw about the significance of Glenn’s passing on the day of the Haiti earthquake that shifted everything for Bonnie
  • What your choosing to suffer does to those who love you
  • What her grief journey looks like for her 11 years after Glenn’s passing
  • The difference in the choices we have and the choices we don’t have
  • What her husband, Phil, told her when she received her cancer diagnosis, and how that message supported her marriage when Glenn passed away
  • Why it’s so important to journey with someone along life’s challenges
  • Her acronym for “SAFE”
  • Finding our way from the Light… to the dark… and back to the Light
  • How she uses humor when she wants to connect with her loved ones in Spirit
  • Ways we can find joy in life after great loss - and what’s required of you to find it
  • Her suggestions for those struggling with deep grief
