Welcome back to From Ashes to Grace. I want to thank you again for your patience as I rework the podcast. I'm in the workings of deciding whether to keep the podcast title, cover art, and need to work on making all things related to it congruent across all social media and with my website.

Ultimately, my dream for my podcast and business is To help those who are end of life to have the most fulfilling and peaceful passing they can have. To help those who are grieving to heal and find hope again. And to help those of us who are realizing our mortality to live the best life we can now, so that we can avoid having the common regrets that those at the end of life often have.

For the next couple episodes, though, with Valentine's Day being next week, I want to focus on love. In this episode, we'll journey through uncovering love in all its forms amidst grief. Let's get to it.

Welcome to this week’s episode of From Ashes to Grace. I hope this week has treated you well. As mentioned previously, I’m going to be working on shifting the podcast more toward grieving, including end-of-life, loss, and living your best life now since we all have to work toward our own transition into the next world. With this, I’m also going to work back towards an interview-based platform. I enjoyed this so much more and can not only educate but bring some real-life experience and juicy conversation into the mix. If any of you know of anyone who would be interested in being interviewed or if you would like to be interviewed yourself, please see the show notes for my contact information. I’d love to hear from you! I also appreciate your patience as these transitions take place very slowly with my busy work schedule.

The topic of today’s episode is thanks to my amazing husband, David. He’s lost 4 family member in the last year, which has really thrown him for a loop. Anyway, he said that among all of the other struggles with grieving loss, the hardest thing for him has been the regret he has of not having spent more time with the people he’s lost. Let’s get to it.

 Welcome back to From Ashes to Grace. Today, I really want to delve into living our best lives. We can do this no matter what place we're in in our lives, whether with a prior history of trauma while navigating the depths of grief or in realizing our own mortality and wanting to prevent the regrets that those at end of life often have.

Late Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I want to apologize for the sabbatical from the podcast I’ve had the past couple of weeks. The holidays, a new job, and life in general swept me off my feet briefly but I’m back! Today, we’re going to talk about New Year's resolutions, The 1 Percent Rule, and how these can relate to your journey down the path of healing from trauma and grief. I can’t wait for this episode!

As a side note, episodes are being moved to Thursdays to accommodate my new work schedule. The outro still says Tuesday but it will be Thursdays and I will work to get the outro corrected. Thank you for your patience.

I hope you all are having a great holiday season. I do know, however that for people with history of trauma or who have lost a loved one, either to estrangement, or to death, the holidays can be very trying. For this episode, I share a favorite holiday story of mine (Teach the Children), followed by ways that you can brighten the holidays or at least cope with the difficulties of your grief. At the end, I share a song that I heard recently that really touched me. I hope this episode and our loving Heavenly Father can bring you the comfort you need during this time of year! Thank you for listening in!

"A Shawna Edwards Christmas" 25 minutes of Christmas music videos including the song I shared, "More About Jesus." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghozS4xGzHw&t=221s&pp=ygUec2hhd25hIGVkd2FyZHMgY2hyaXN0bWFzIHNvbmdz

Do you wish you could move past PTSD triggers, flashbacks, and frequent overwhelm? Do you find yourself searching for more connection and true friendships? Are you ready to break free of the sadness, anger, and negative thought patterns that keep you from experiencing more fulfilling relationships?

In this episode, we will explore how faith practices can play a significant role in trauma recovery and how to reconcile questioning of how God can allow trauma, violence, and abuse to affect his precious children. Listen to this insightful episode for these answers and the comfort that can be found in deeply grounded faith in our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

Hey ladies, today we're going to explore how nurturing hope and optimism is crucial for healing from trauma. You'd be surprised by how that four-letter word, hope, can change the trajectory of your healing process. Following the discussion, another interview recorded prior to the rebranding of this podcast with Thomas Perdana, a Christian evangelist who works to set the example of a Christlike life and spread the word to others throughout the world.
