— Allow yourself to grieve. Grief is a process that requires patience—with yourself, your emotions, and the journey ahead. It isn't something you can rush or resolve overnight because grief isn't about "getting over" your loss; it's about learning to live with it. It's about finding ways to incorporate the love and memories of your loved one into your life in a healthy and meaningful way. There will be moments when the waves of emotion hit unexpectedly— sometimes as a gentle ripple and other times as a crashing tide. Allow yourself to feel them. These emotions are a reflection of the depth of your love and the significance of the bond you shared. They're not something to push away or suppress but to honor as part of your healing. Be kind to yourself on this journey. Healing doesn't mean forgetting, and moving forward doesn't mean leaving your loved one behind. Instead, it's about carrying them with you differently—as part of who you are, as inspiration, and as a source of love that continues to shape your life.

Valeria interviews Marcia Earhart — She is the author of "Gripping Grace in the Garden of Grief: A Place for the Heart."

Marcia Earhart is the founder of the Sterling Rose Sanctuary, life coach, grief, brain, and trauma specialist, HeartSync minister, mediator, author and speaker.

Marcia's story is one of unimaginable loss, unshakable faith, and undeniable resilience. After enduring the deaths of two sons—one to sudden tragedy and another to murder— losing life as she knew it-she has allowed God to transform her pain into a lifeline for others. Her book, Gripping Grace in the Garden of Grief: A Place for the Heart, is

a raw, powerful testament to surviving the darkest valleys and finding hope on the other side. Her determined faith, unshakable hope, and

belief in the healing power of the Lord gave her the ability to fight for her family through prayer and practical decision-making.

Marcia's story isn't just about survival—it's about learning how to breathe again after life knocks the wind out of you. Marcia will tell you the losses she had early on in life prepared her for the losses she has continued to experience. But instead of letting grief consume her, she learned—through the quiet strength of her parents—how to live with sorrow without being crushed by it. Today, she doesn't just carry that wisdom for herself; she offers it to others as a certified Grief, Trauma, Brain, and Mental Health Responder and Coach. She is also a Mediator, HeartSync Minister, Author, and Speaker.

Her work is deeply personal. Her ministry is boots on the ground for those suffering with mental health due to trauma, loss, and grief. She works with survivors of sexual ritual abuse, addiction, those haunted by

suicidal thoughts, and anyone drowning in the weight of depression or anxiety—not as a distant expert, but as someone who's felt fractures in her bones. What sets her apart isn't just her training, but her lived

truth: Healing isn't about erasing pain. It's about learning how to live alongside it, tenderly and without shame.

— "I want a second chance with you in a world
where time is infinite boundaries will not divide religion will not win and loving you is not a sin."

For Shuchi, writing has always been a form of healing — not in the sense that it erases pain, but that it gives pain meaning. Every poem is an attempt to understand a feeling more deeply, to honor it, and to transform it into something that might help someone else feel less alone.

Through her bestselling books "You Belong With Me" and "Why Did You Let Me Go?", she has explored the full spectrum of love and loss. These works emerged from personal experiences, but they belong to everyone who has ever loved deeply, lost painfully, and found the courage to begin again.

Elected Secretary of the Poetry Society of Virginia, Shuchi also serves as a literary judge and has been invited to speak and perform across literary platforms.

Valeria interviews Renée Guay — She is the author of "Why We Attract Narcissists: Three Steps to Freedom."

Renée Guay is the founder of True North Coaching and a trauma-informed guide in emotional integration, subconscious patterning, and inner authority. Drawing from neuroscience, timeline therapy, neurolinguistic programming, nervous-system work, and lived experience, Renée guides others to recognize and gently dissolve the unconscious patterns shaping their relationships, choices, and sense of self.
