And finally, a Word on Grief:
When I was widowed several years ago I received a massive lesson on the value of life and the importance of making every moment count. Although I had believed I was living fully and consciously, in the wake of my husband's death I came to realize I was missing something intangible, although I wasn't sure what that "something" might be.
Melissa Axler
I found my way to Melissa Axler, a Certified Grief and Pastoral Counsellor. Her compassion, wisdom, humour and skill as a therapist helped enormously in my journey to a vibrant life that no longer included the daily presence of my "other half."
Through her company, Beneficial Living and Wellness, Melissa provides counselling for an array of personal, family and work-related issues. She works jointly with her clients to set goals and establish strategies to meet them. If you or anyone you know is struggling to stay on course in a storm-tossed world, you might find renewed vision and vitality through a connection with Melissa . She provides a great "check-up from the neck-up!"
