94. evolve beyond grief: Susan Kendal

On May 20, 2014, Susan’s world came crashing down. Her 54-year old husband passed unexpectedly of a heart attack. The years since have been a whirlwind of emotion, trauma & joy (yes, she said joy, thanks mostly to the birth of her grandchildren). Over the next 5 years, Susan experienced additional heartache following the death of her dad & both of her brothers. She knew her only way to make sense of all her grief was to find a way to use her experiences to help others. So, armed with a coaching certificate, her learned experience and inspiration she set out to help the grieving. Initially evolve was created as a site to support others moving forward on their path after bereavement. Yet, in time, Susan recognized that the emotional and financial toll created by death is often made more overwhelming because society shuns all aspects of death. In order to truly make a positive impact, we must shatter the taboo about death. Welcome to Code Blue - an annual day dedicated to conversation and education about all things death.
