AUDLEY'S PERSONAL INSIGHT
One of the things I appreciated most about this conversation was Marcia's belief that healing isn't something reserved for a select few. Her perspective challenged the idea that we're destined to carry emotional pain forever. I also loved her reminder that grief deserves our attention, but not permanent residence in our lives.
