Love in Action | Laura Formentini | TEDxBellarmineU

[@High-Pink]

The idea of a sanctuary where people can heal, play, and find solace is really comforting

[@mike-good-ames]

It's incredible how small acts of kindness from strangers can have such a profound impact on our lives.

[@camerongdowd]

Absolutely, and when you come to think of them as your community instead of strangers it feels ever more amazing.

[@angel_rai]

It really is amazing and I think more people need to focus on that and bring it into their daily life.

[@angel_rai]

As in, start being that positive force.

[@scottzsanders]

The concept of grief being the energy of love stuck inside us is beautifully articulated. It reframes grief as a powerful force that can be overcome by channelling it positively.

[@sylviecannon]

Behind every story of grief, there's an army of unseen heroes who hold us up when we can't stand alone.

[@jaspernedivek]

The inclusion of animals and colorful activities in the sanctuary envisions a holistic approach to healing. The idea of making clothes for animals is so whimsical and heartwarming.

[@CaspianJK]

It's amazing how a stranger can show such kindness and compassion to someone in their darkest moment.

[@lucasdanster]

I don't know that it's so amazing... if you're a kind and compassionate person I think it would be very natural

[@alionafrunza5838]

It's amazing that people are so shocked by a stranger being this kind

[@SpeckledDude]

The vision of the sanctuary as a place to re-experience the simplicity of being a child is poignant. It adds a layer of emotional depth and connection that could lead to some pretty beautiful healing ❤

he was the best

[@why-why-why-why1]

Your journey through grief and your dedication to helping others are remarkable. Keep spreading love and healing through your loving action. You are making a difference in people's lives.

[@thomasmthomson]

I think this is a great example of how healing and growth can come from unexpected places. If we're open to the world around us there's all sorts of things that can happen - singular moments which propel us into thinking differently about the world and ourselves.

[@piperdee8965]

Laura's experience highlights the importance of having a support system in times of crisis. We all need someone to lean on during our darkest moments.

[@the-cookie_monster]

we should all have that, but we dont.

[@paddywilson-humble3003]

There is such importance of reaching out to others in times of need, showing that we're all connected. The vision for a sanctuary that nurtures healing through creativity and play is something our communities could greatly benefit from.

[@theandreroseisme]

The idea of incorporating animals and playful activities in the sanctuary is intriguing. It brings a sense of joy and whimsy to the healing process. It encourages us to tap into our inner child and find happiness amidst grief which I think would be very powerful

[@adammayhew]

I also think connecting with that part of ourselves is really powerful, and when we tie it in to the healing process there's a lot of stuff that comes out

[@micdaskel3313]

"A strangers kindness" isn't that so true, so many times those that don't know us provide the space and elegance we need to start our own healing. Thank you Laura and bless your kind soul.

[@leotencall]

This is a really pleasant way of putting it

[@themarybasse]

that's happened to me before and it's always a powerful experience

[@odysseasmallios1570]

What a beautiful way of putting all of it

[@MediaMediums]

The sanctuary idea is genius. A place to heal and rediscover our inner child, something we all need.

[@silviapalagi]

Random acts of kindness, whether it's in your neighborhood or across the globe, that's the kind of positivity the world needs more of.

[@coreykansasbell]

Laura, your story serves as a reminder that grief doesn't have a timeline. It's a unique and personal journey, but with the support of others and acts of loving action, it's possible to find strength and purpose again.

[@google_was_my_ideaforreal]

The way you describe the sanctuary as a place to re-experience the simplicity of being a child again is incredibly moving, Laura. It highlights the importance of finding moments of joy and playfulness in the midst of grief.

[@nanburkhardt]

Absolutely and the importance of healing your inner child and re-parenting yourself.

[@nanburkhardt]

The sanctuary sounds like an ideal place to do both of those things

[@olgasladekova]

I think this is the hardest part of grief, letting yourself have moments like that

[@georgeasper]

Your vision of a sanctuary where grief can be transformed through creativity and love is inspiring, Laura. It's a reminder that healing is possible when we open our hearts to both giving and receiving.

[@camerongdowd]

It sounds incredible. I really hope it becomes a reality.

[@moanaoloha]

The emphasis on activities to 'reignite the imagination' and help people shed their heaviness is a beautiful approach. We often forget the healing power of play.

[@claire-mortimer]

The story acknowledges that grief can consume us, but it also shows the power of loving action in moving forward. It's not about dismissing the pain, but rather finding strength in acts of kindness and connection.

[@raylinduke9645]

Thank you for sharing the universal nature of grief, Laura. Your words remind us that love knows no boundaries and that acts of kindness have the power to transcend cultural and geographical barriers

[@zelmacastricone1228]

Agreed! Love and kindness are universal languages.

[@yaboimike940]

Laura's message is a powerful reminder that love and kindness are universal. They have the capacity to heal and uplift individuals, communities, and even entire nations. Thank you for summarizing this beautifully.

[@Benjamin-yh9mr]

Laura's TEDx talk beautifully illustrates the transformative power of love in action. It's inspiring to see how acts of kindness can transcend cultural and geographical barriers, bringing people together in times of grief and healing.

[@sibleysuet8016]

I couldn't agree more with your comment. Laura's talk highlights the incredible power of love and kindness to overcome cultural and geographical boundaries. It's a beautiful reminder of our shared humanity and the impact we can make through acts of compassion.

[@nestermaratos1070]

Love has the ability to connect us all. Amazing talk!

[@tetrusexpert]

Sending love to Laura from Mexico, and shoutout to the stranger who showed her love knows no boundaries.

[@ShineZodiac]

It's so important to always reach out and support others in times of need. Love in action can truly heal.

[@Fitz-Gerald]

Grief can be an overwhelming force, but this story shows the how the power of love can help transform it

[@desivaldez]

Well, according to her grief is love.

[@TheKaboomGirl]

This is a very valid perception and understanding of grief, thank you

[@jodikennedy8886]

Your vision might be incomplete, but it's already sparking inspiration. Keep dreaming big, because your ideas could change lives.

[@gwendolyncarnell]

One of my friends told me that once your "normal" has been disrupted, you don't go back to it, you can't go back to living normally, you instead create a new normal. This has stuck with me and I find that this video resonates with the thought. One can never move on from grief, from the pain of death, time doesn't heal, it just gives you patience.

[@harmonyhadley5216]

that makes a lot of sense. your friend is very insightful

[@clarasands8549]

what is normal these days anyways!

[@xoxo_sushi]

how very true Gwen!

[@slowmodern]

@@clarasands8549 I was thinking exactly the same thing

[@tigersallaroundus]

as always spot on topic GC

[@justineberne]

Your vision for the sanctuary is beautiful. I hope it becomes a reality and brings solace to many others who are going through grief.

[@randipowers]

I hope so too ❤

[@jasonopdebeeck4444]

Laura, your story is a beautiful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Your commitment to honoring your son's memory through acts of love and compassion is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey with us

[@remigradilenga4121]

I was in tears instantly, thank you for sharing this with me Jason!

[@lincolnmessier1840]

Sending much love to those who need it 💙💙💙💙

[@mindsetmanager]

💜💜💜

[@Fitz-Gerald]

How sweet

[@iamthefootyfan]

How is it that almost no one knows about the universal declaration of human responsibilities? The words are beautiful and show how we all connected and important to one another if we choose to be "the effective and efficient realisation of human rights is dependant on all members of the human family striving for it's fulfilment."

[@hudsonhhack]

The kindness of that stranger is truly heartwarming. It shows that humanity still has the capacity for empathy and compassion.

[@benjamingdorey]

TRUTH!!!! with that we as a species are doomed. And I fear not enough people think that way.

[@levshalazar]

Of course it does, it's just that most of the societies we have don't place enough value on those things

[@adammayhew]

Definitely. In some peoples cases I think they're more able to be kind to a stranger than to someone they know. I dunno.... people are so complex

[@paulpasquale1473]

The take home message for me was the idea of a sanctuary where one could feel safe and protected and "re-experience the simplicity of being a child again". Thanks Laura what a wonderful idea.

[@the-organic-way]

Really that's what you took away from this? There was so much more going on in this talk.

[@thecryptichatter]

This broke my heart at times, but is SO!!! worth sharing.

[@malachijude]

Your journey through grief and the sanctuary you envision highlight the transformative power of turning pain into purpose, Laura. Thank you for sharing your story and inspiring others to embrace loving action.

[@simaobitencourt]

This is such a beautiful way for her to be honoring her son, and her self.

[@High-Pink]

Yes, it's really lovely.

[@charlievantas]

I've heard that saying before, about how grief is love with nowhere to go but I never really knew what people meant by it. Grateful to have seen this and gotten some more understanding.

[@olgasladekova]

I believe in your vision! Creating a space where people can heal through love and play sounds amazing.

[@woodychuck]

I believe that many corporations or philanthropists would want to see her succeed with this.

[@joanbacon7056]

Blaise's legacy lives on through the love and healing this mother is sharing with the world.

[@High-Pink]

This is a nice way to think of what she's doing 💗

[@jaineyrosting]

This is so true, that without unconditional love and unconditional support, we have nothing. I believe that service, is not a transaction, it is our purpose as humans.

[@elaineward1925]

Instead of an apple a day our mission should be a random loving action a day. What a wonderful world we could create.

[@lauraformentini9284]

What a wonderful thought, Elaine! I am with you!!

[@bridgettemsanders]

My spirit felt comfort in knowing that when we need it most, there is a community to help us through all the awful things we can experience.

[@tyeziika]

I think Laura was pretty lucky to have that experience. I don't know how readily available that kind of community is in the western cultures, unless you've created it or are lucky enough to have an in-built support network

[@levshalazar]

Yeah except they're all the way over in rural Ethiopia

[@fastingfanatic]

t's through acts of kindness and empathy that we can truly make a difference in someone's life, even in their darkest moments

[@joanguckel]

a great reminder to remain kind to others. I recently heard someone say to treat everyone as though they're grieving, because you might not know if they are.

[@lauraformentini9284]

That's exactly the point. According to a 2019 WebMD poll, 57% of Americans were grieving the loss of someone dear. That means, every other person we meet, is grieving. We just don't know it.

[@rheeslewis]

Laura, your words remind us of the interconnectedness of humanity and the responsibility we have to support and uplift one another. Your story is a powerful call to action for acts of love and kindness.

[@woodychuck]

choked up listening to her story and then again reading this comment, summing up how we are all connected and we need to work together, small acts of kindness.

[@wadecampster]

Laura, your vision of the sanctuary is not only a place of healing but also a celebration of life. It's a testament to the transformative power of creativity, connection, and the resilience of the human heart

[@taniagill4673]

There is such a need for spaces where people can grapple with the grief we experience when losing a child. It's so much more common today than it was even 10 years ago and the lack of places for individuals to go for support is very sad. Laura is very lucky in that she consistently had love and support around her during this time and I am so grateful that she is pushing the need for this!!

[@eddieakpabio]

There's a lot to process in this talk but her experiences with those Ethiopian villagers and their understanding of community is so powerful and beautiful

[@geraldsolley]

Your story touched me deeply. It's incredible how a stranger's compassion and empathy can become a lifeline in times of immense pain.

[@CroonGirl]

I remember seeing this talk awhile back, and the concept of grief being love that you can't express anymore really stuck with me. It's something I've said to many people since then and I'm thankful for having seen this 💜

[@marekduvanche]

Your vision of the sanctuary as a place to shed heaviness and rediscover joy is incredibly inspiring!

[@nanburkhardt]

It sounds like such a beautiful place doesn't it?

[@bestpractice4040]

It seems like everything a sanctuary should be ❤❤

[@bestpractice4040]

Sincerely hope she finds a way to make it a reality

[@randipowers]

"shed heaviness" is a great term for describing coming out of depression...

[@olgasladekova]

@@randipowers yes, perfectly describes the feeling

[@IAmTheRealSeeker]

Your story touched my heart deeply, Laura. The idea of love in action resonates so strongly - it's a beautiful way to channel our pain into something positive and healing for ourselves and others.

[@dantepjet]

I am all for this baseline of human kindness/decency. I lost my Grandpa a few years back while overseas and I would have done anything to have just one person show me kindness as I made my way back....

[@sylviacrittendon]

Laura, your resilience and commitment to healing are truly admirable. Your journey through grief and the sanctuary you envision are a testament to the power of self-care and creating spaces of solace for others

[@olgasladekova]

Yes, the self-care is really crucial I think for wanting to get past the grief.

[@sylviacrittendon]

@@olgasladekova I think self-care is crucial for your entire emotional well-being.

[@woodychuck]

Beautifully put

[@MochaPundit]

Such a testament to the power of community. How I wish it was more like that here.

[@mindsetmanager]

Agreed.

[@desivaldez]

Yes, this is absolutely what I took away from this talk as well.

[@arthurjanzen]

My grief began to shift with the words of kindness from a stranger - WOW!

[@kashaiq]

This presentation is so heartbreaking. My heart goes out to Laura and her family.

[@marekdluzniak]

What happened to her family is heartbreaking, this talk is beautiful and uplifting.

[@rmmuskeet3831]

Love in action and kindness can help us heal and move forward, even in the face of profound loss.

[@abradisme]

The mention of the universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities is intriguing. It prompts us to explore the idea of fulfilling our obligations to others.

[@ashgadah]

Laura your vision of the sanctuary is so full of love and hope... It really speaks to the power of embracing our inner child and how valuable that can be in terms of finding joy while going through the worst parts of grief. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful vision with us ❤❤

[@fortunaterbush8607]

So true! Embracing our inner child during grief brings a sense of joy. Laura's vision is inspiring. 😃

[@moneymaker324]

This is so spot on,, embracing and healing the inner child is so important and a method of healing that I think is often overlooked

[@kelseysewer6315]

I completely agree! Laura's vision of the sanctuary is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Embracing our inner child and finding joy amidst grief can bring immense healing and hope. Thank you for appreciating and sharing in this beautiful vision

[@nanburkhardt]

This is so beautifully put. I feel like you really get it ❤❤

[@julie-chan]

@kylegilland6205 Definitely agree with finding our inner child

[@adairamacdonald]

Laura, your ability to find hope and light amidst the darkest moments is truly remarkable. Your story reminds us that while grief may change us, it also presents an opportunity for growth, compassion, and love in action.

[@natashafederov]

Laura's experience raises important questions about human responsibility. In a world where we are often focused on our own lives and problems, it's easy to forget that we are all connected, and that our actions (or inactions) can have a profound impact on others. The stranger who helped Laura understood this implicitly, and his actions were a clear example of what it means to be a responsible member of the human family. It's a powerful reminder that we all have a role to play in making the world a better place.

[@nothx3299]

Absolutely, especially the part about how we're all connected. Such a huge thing to remember.

[@alionafrunza5838]

Yes very true but I think so many people - especially in places like America - do not understand these things

[@ashgadah]

This is so true! I think we can get so caught up in our own issues it gets hard to see when other people are hurting too.

[@bestpractice4040]

It does yes and I think if anything we have been very slack in terms of our responsibilities to one another.

[@bestpractice4040]

It's a very selfish society we've created in this part of the world

[@alexleister]

Laura is such a great speaker. feel lucky to have found this video today

[@bluedefender2325]

Sometimes grief can consume us, but loving action gives us a purpose and a reason to move forward. It's heartwarming to see how a stranger's kindness can make a difference.

[@xavierilorenzo]

This is so lovely ❤❤

[@ashgadah]

Definitely, I think as we start to understand the grief it gets easier too

[@bestpractice4040]

I think sometimes it's okay to let ourselves be consumed by the grief, to truly feel it, in order to move on from it.

[@marcusatticuslordandrule]

The stranger who helped Laura was able to provide her with a lifeline when she needed it most, and his actions are a beautiful example of what it means to be a good human being. Everyone deserves this kind of compassion.

[@tinatuvalle]

Yes but sadly not everyone is prepared to have this level of compassion for those around them

[@katarinabloom]

Marcus always finds truth, thanks for sending to me...

[@58vette]

a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit

[@xavierilorenzo]

Absolutely and to the need for kindness

Sending love to anyone who's experienced loss. Remember, small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

[@jujurocker]

Oh my heart!! My daughter broke her arm when I was interstate when she was 6 and I felt like it was the end of the world. I am so SO sorry for your loss Laura! I can't even wrap my head around your incredible energy, I am in awe of your power! You are helping so many!

[@jacobydesoiles]

Seems like a pretty weak comparison

[@kathywinter]

Loss has a unique flavor indeed, but your story shows us that it's possible to find light and healing even in the midst of darkness.

[@livingclear5028]

What incredible strength we possess to overcome adversity through love and compassion.

[@lauraformentini9284]

Thank you, Dreamy Boyd, for your sweet words. My life journey, including all the potholes, is now a movie for others to hopefully freely learn from, and I'm so glad to be helpful in any way :)

[@natalyaguilerafigueroa]

agreed!

[@toxic_sxgur]

When the person you love so much is no longer there your love for them is stuck inside of you with nowhere to go. Thanks Laura for that reframe.

[@ryleefinn8894]

It makes sense yes, and somehow makes it feel easier to deal with the grief. Like all you have to do is find a way to channel it

[@tinatuvalle]

Yeah it's a good reframe and sort of compliments the saying about how someone is always with you even after they've passed

[@malachijude]

@@tinatuvalle yeah they definitely go hand in hand in terms of understanding that you can still express your love for that person, just not physically I guess?

[@adammayhew]

Thinking of grief in that way is much nicer and easier I think than the alternatives

[@woodychuck]

thank you Laura for sharing this very vulnerable experience you had, even with the kindness of strangers, it is still very difficult to master being so real. It is appreciated.

[@dantepjet]

Yes! Right! I think any one would be straight up rattled if going through the same experience, but we shouldnt be rattled by strangers hey...

[@jefbertoncini5220]

Laura's courage in sharing her vulnerable experience is truly commendable. It's a reminder that authenticity and realness resonate deeply.

[@sibleysuet8016]

Thank you for reminding us to be real, Laura.😊

[@fortunaterbush8607]

Your vulnerability is truly appreciated, Laura.

[@violealejandrez5039]

Thank you, Laura, for sharing your journey so openly. Your story serves as an important reminder of the impact of vulnerability.

[@czarcasm2168]

Her strength is so impressive. It is not easy to turn grief into a force for good. Most of the time we let it make our hearts more callous instead of tender.

[@sandytlyon]

The way you describe loving action as a friend is so beautiful, Laura. It's a reminder that acts of kindness not only help others but also provide solace and purpose in our own lives. Thank you for sharing your profound insights

[@bestpractice4040]

Absolutely, I've always found that when I'm feeling sad or a little off doing something kind for another person makes me feel better.

[@maehaslet]

Your experience with the stranger's kindness shows the profound impact one person can have on another's healing journey, Laura. It's a reminder to be open to offering support and compassion to those in need.

[@coreykansasbell]

Good point, thanks for linking me to this talk.

[@nothx3299]

I can only imagine the gratitude of learning about this kind of unconditional love at a moment when there would have been so much of it trapped inside of her.

[@ryleefinn8894]

Yeah, seems really fortunate

[@levshalazar]

I think as a mother she would already have a good understanding of unconditional love.

[@xoxo_sushi]

This talk should not have a disclaimer, this is very important, and KZbin should encourage more people to see it.

[@thenextbigthingishere]

I do think it makes sense to give people a warning about the content. maybe you shouldn't have to click through though, they could just display it on-screen as the talk starts

[@ankebloem]

Thank you. I lost my son 13 years ago, I do try and find ways to honour his great spirit and holding space for others stricken with grief. I found a lot of comfort in this talk. Thank you again

[@verapatrizio]

My son would have been 39 today had he not chosen to go the way he did. If it wasn't for the communities I found through my grief, I'm not sure if I would be okay, 6 years on... I love your ideas Laura and I love seeing your radiant love in action! Thank you!

[@Me-lolahernandez]

Wow Laura what a beautiful philanthropic life you have led. Clearly there is a lot of love within you and "in action" around you.

[@alionafrunza5838]

Yes she is a beautiful woman with how she has lived

[@ashgadah]

It's easy to see isn't it?

[@angel_rai]

This talk just goes to show how we can all be that special support in a time of need for someone else.

[@SnapTalkerIsHere]

The phrase "that's my human responsibility" is really quite something... Especially in this age of individualistic focus and needs, there is definitely a responsibility that we should honour among one another, when strife and grief are coming at our neighbours in waves. I am so pleased to hear that she had support and a friend when some of the toughest times hit.

[@randompi9492]

Absolutely, it's a pretty huge thing to think about which is concerning compared to how second nature it was for those in the Ethiopian community.

[@randompi9492]

We really have just built huge walls around ourselves

[@offbeatbirdy3307]

We are all the same entity, we are all each other. This is lost knowledge

[@_mama_tea_6590]

The stranger's act of kindness truly moved me. It's remarkable how grief can be transformed through loving action. This story reminds us of the power we all have to make a difference in someone's life during their darkest moments.

[@olanik2061]

I hope more of us can step up when the time comes. Truly a beautiful story.

[@madisongrace9146]

Yes, honestly I think that's the only way for grief to be transformed. Otherwise it just sits there

[@Techodeflash]

Thank you for sharing your story, Laura. Your strength and the way you've transformed your pain into purpose is a true testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Your mission is one of hope and healing for so many.

[@donaldeaston441]

What Laura went through, it really points out the need for more awareness and resources for mental health. We need to prioritize this issue and break down the stigma surrounding mental illness.

[@shimmikang]

Yes Brother! That is the truth!!

[@kalestanslink]

Yes absolutely, it's heart-breaking when a person thinks there's no other option to resolving whatever they're going through

[@brunodstone]

The stranger who kept Laura company before her flight is the kind of person I strive to be

[@avajayden1729]

It's so much harder to do in reality than in theory, but that's what makes it worth trying

[@nothx3299]

I think that's the kind of person we should all strive to be

[@levshalazar]

@@avajayden1729 I don't think it's that hard to be a kind and compassionate person. Though perhaps we live in a society that makes it difficult for there to be opportunities to show this sort of kindness.

[@hooponopono8528]

I really want to believe this idea, that it can release and transform the grief. I do believe it would be a force for positive change but I can't just take her words for it until I have had the opportunity to put my love in to action as well.

[@riciphariss107]

It's great that you're willing to test the idea before fully embracing it. That's how we truly understand its potential.

[@germainehaldane4917]

Your thoughtful approach of aligning belief with action reflects a deeper understanding of the concept.

[@kelseysewer6315]

Your comment beautifully encapsulates the idea of bridging belief and action for genuine transformation.

[@nestermaratos1070]

Your approach of combining belief and action is the path to deeper understanding and growth.

[@JayneTata302]

Your perspective is a refreshing reminder that belief and action are two sides of the same coin. Keep on your journey.

[@therealjuanschmidt]

I lost my friend recently, and this story resonates deeply. Acts of kindness truly have the power to heal.

[@budwebb]

I love this way of thinking, that we're all brothers and sisters and our duty as humans is to just be kind and decent to one another, especially when someone is in very real and tangible pain.

[@alionafrunza5838]

Yes, hopefully more people can think like this.

[@dahouseismyhouse]

Her story drew me in immediately. It's chilling how a single phone call can completely flip everything on its head.

[@randompi9492]

Well yes but it's not the phone call itself but the events that prompted the call

[@ailamacdonald]

When the love inside of us is "stuck" it renders us incapable of coherent thought. Laura was blessed to have this stranger to guide her and help her start grieving.

[@brewsterdd]

Yes, or it just gets stagnant and turns to bitterness

[@genagarbo9548]

The sudden loss of a loved one is devastating, but Laura's experience is unimaginable.

[@pavlova4727]

I'm not sure I would have been able to transmute that experience into something meaningful the way she has

[@keranskeckter]

Talking about universal responsibility, that's some deep thinking. We could all use a bit more of that in our lives.

[@begrace7196]

No one can be untouched by Laura's tale and as a tribute we should find ways to include "Love in action" in our lives.

[@annmerrychristmas]

The fact that Laura's experience changed the course of her life is a testament to the power of human connection. Her encounter with the stranger in Ethiopia led her to question what it means to be human, and to think deeply about the responsibilities we all have to one another. It's a powerful example of how a single moment of compassion can have a ripple effect that extends far beyond that moment. It's also a reminder that we all have the power to make a difference in the world, even in small ways.

[@margotaylor-ritchie5937]

Yeah absolutely and I can't help but think how lucky she was to have experienced that at such a crucial time.

[@rangerstv602]

It's a really beautiful way to learn something like that

[@fionatruscott]

Sending you so much love and strength, Laura. Your vulnerability in sharing your journey through grief is truly inspiring.

I cannot even imagine the pain that Laura went through on that day. It takes an immense amount of strength to go through such an experience and still keep going.

[@nathanclendle]

Your dedication to turning grief into a force for good is commendable, Laura. The way you've used your pain to create positive change is a powerful example of how love and compassion can transcend even the deepest sorrow.
