Coloring Life: How Loss Invites Us to Live More Vibrant Lives
Coloring Life: How Loss Invites Us to Live More Vibrant Lives is Dr. Alise Cortez's newest work on grief, meaning, and resilience. It's first a story, an intimate sharing of her experience of losing her parents and how she struggled to make sense of their death.
Reading it is like coming home to an old friend and being wrapped in a hug for solace and comfort. Nestled in that embrace to help you connect and better understand your loss, the book's second part offers "whispers of wisdom" she gained through her loss. Death is a great teacher. Losing the ones we love the most can inspire us to treasure our relationships, expand our consciousness, and live more fully.
