The fact that Kelli Grace is alive and hasn't yet died of a broken heart is really a miracle, and you'll see why after you listen to her story. Another miracle is that she is finding ways to force herself to keep going. This widow is unstoppable, even when her entire life and family as she knew it was destroyed.

Shortly before this 28 year old mom of a toddler became a widow, her dad died by suicide. She's no stranger to shocking and sudden loss, and the myriad of feelings that accompany life after death. Following her husband's tragic accident while on duty with the Army Reserves, she puts her strength into helping others, and helping herself not fall victim to victim mentality.

Amy Pickett-Williams and Anita have something in common that's surprisingly not grief-related. But these small, prickly things are what ultimately led Amy, who is a grief therapist and integrative somatic trauma therapist, on her journey to help the world find tools for healing.

The LIGHT Movement (Love in Grief, Held Together) was started by a group of volunteers in the fall of 2023, with the intention to let those grieving know that they are not alone. For resources, volunteer opportunities, training, continuing ed credits for professionals, workshops, and solstice events, visit http://www.lightmovement.org
