This week I'm talking all about how when we choose to form bonds and maybe even lasting friendships, we can help one another heal after this tragedy.

I remember being shy about sharing what had happened... Even opening up that I lost my sister was hard enough at times. When I felt the environment and the people I was sharing it with were safe, then I would share what I had experienced.

Something magical happened when I did! We formed a bond between the other person or people because I was willing to share what I had been through.

So often we might find ourselves not speaking up or not saying anything about mental health, our own struggles or our loved one's death but when we have a moment of courage, it can transform our relationships for the better.

Remember you are loved!
