From Grief to Purpose

Grief doesn't ask permission before it destroys the life you thought you knew! >This isn't a story about pretending grief disappears.It isn't about finding a silver lining in death or claiming that loss happened for a reason.Its about serving when you don't want to, loving people while you're falling apart, nearly losing yourself and you're marriage, and slowly discovering that being alive and truly living are two very different things. Along the way come a stubborn GED, dreams of pastry school and Heaven Sent Bakery-a dream built from Charlenes own love of baking while honoring the people she carries with her. At the center of the story is RÉNA Charlenes 10 year old niece and beloved "Queen Hope". Réna's death was not a gift, a lesson, or something that needed to happen for Charlene to find purpos. She was a little girl who was supposed to live.Chrlene simply had the privilege of loving her. From Grief to Purpose is for anyone who has stood underneath the rubble of a life they no longer recognize and wondered whether they are allowed to want something again. YOU ARE! Grief may come along for the ride IT JUST DOESNT GET TO DRIVE ANYMORE
