A Mother's story of turning grief into a celebration of her daughter's life - Karen Houck
Join us for a very honest, beautiful discussion on dealing with grief. Karen Houck lost her daughter, Alyssa, in November of 2011. She describes her grief as 'a bag of rocks that you carry with you wherever you go.' After laying on the couch for many months, she realized she couldn't quit, so she started Alyssas Wishes, an organization dedicated to preserving the memory of her daughter by focusing on acts of kindness, fostering community connections, and promoting literacy. One of those acts of kindness includes painting rocks with words of encouragement and leaving them for others to find. You can read more about Karen's organization at www.alyssaswishes.org
