From Loss Through
Recovery to Evolution
~ Gwilda Wiyaka ~
If there is one thing that is universally feared, it
is loss. Loss of income, a home, a relationship, or a loved one is very
traumatic for any of us. At the same time, loss is a constant in life where
everything is subject to continuous change.
Everything has purpose. The key to finding it is in transforming
the experience into something positive.
Is it possible to recover from loss and use it to become
more than we were before? How can we not only recover, but move beyond
suffering and tap into the evolutionary power of loss?
With us this hour to delve into loss, recovery and
transformation is Jeannie Seeley-Smith,
author of “Nine Friends In Time Of Loss.” For nearly 38 years, Jeannie
has served as CEO of Perspectives. She is the founder of Minnesota’s
largest therapeutic supportive housing program for
homeless/recovering women and their children.
Jeannie ensures the implementation of the agency’s
mission and vision, its relevance to the community, and its accountability to
its diverse constituents. She is also responsible for implementing best
practices through a multi-disciplinary team of professionals to ensure families
return to permanent housing.
