The Grammar of Grief with Uma Girish

Courage and Compassion in the Aftermath of a Shooting

As a 7-year-old, Lynnie Vessels was witness to the aftermath of her father shooting her mother across the dining room table. It was in those moments that in her younger sister's eyes Lynnie found a safe harbor as a way to anchor her sanity. Eye contact and words would go on to become the most powerful tools she used in the way she engaged with and created her life. In her powerful book "To Soften the Blow", Lynnie chronicles her extraordinary journey and the defining moments she used to make new choices in her life. 

Join me and Lynnie as we have a conversation about what life hands us and how we can it to make meaning in our lives and the lives of others.
