And what I realized is that we all have our hidden prisons, but every prison has a door.
And because I have this wisdom of experience of actually having walked through a real prison, there were life lessons that I could share to a general audience and a broader audience.
And so I am so excited to just get this book out into the world.
And just the immediate feedback has been unbelievable and mind-blowing.
Yeah.
You know, when I really was thinking about my own life, you know, it was in relation to my brother's end-of-life experience and him being murdered by a friend.
And what I realized through my own process was two things was happening.
One, I was trying to grieve my brother.
And two, I was navigating the guilt of my own experience because I made somebody's family feel like my family was.
And it was devastating to reconcile those two things.
And what I realized is that grief is one of the toughest hidden prisons to get out of.
There are people who I've talked to who have been grieving for decades.
And so it's a very tough prison to get out of.
And so I wanted to start the book with the toughest prison.
I can't say to another human being, hey, you've grieved long enough.
and tell them to just stop.
That would be cruel.
That would be mean.
And so sometimes people don't realize how enduring grief can really prevent them from living the life that they are deserving of.
And I was no different.
