Seasons come & seasons go, but the love for our loved one remains.  At times we see forks on our paths.  With all our entangled emotions through grief, it can be challenging  to know how to make wise and healthy decisions. Decision making can be overwhelming & honestly challenging along the way.  Join co-host Shar Stephenson today for an honest conversation about this beautiful ugly journey where she offers guidance & encouragement.

Shar lost her husband/best friend/business partner/soul mate in December of 2020. She birthed this podcast to help other people walking through grief. Shar & her late husband Rick started Blooming Bean Coffee Roasters and Bud & Bloom, a non-profit serving at risk communities.  They have 3 grown sons.

In this episode:

• A little back story on This Beautiful Ugly
• How wisdom can be your personal body guard
• Diverging paths that lead to healing or a maze of detours & dead ends
• There is no substitute for healing through grief
• There is One who is always with you, even in the darkness
• And much more!

Quote of the Day: “This is a new season. We will never be the same. We're figuring out who we are now on this journey. But I want you to hold fast to this truth: That you are not alone, that He loves you, and you've got a community that is here for you."
