Summary
Podcast host Angela welcomes Steve Ferrara, author of From Grief to Gratitude: A New Paradigm on Death, who shares how the death of his 23-year-old son in a car accident led him to journal daily for 20 years, later turning those journals into a book with an editor over several years. Steve describes key shifts in healing, including moving from anger and “why” questions toward acceptance, viewing the loss from his son’s perspective, and developing an ongoing inner relationship through journaling and meditation. He discusses seeking deeper understanding through spiritual teachers, books, retreats, and near-death experience research, rather than focusing on sympathy or grief groups. Steve also reflects on later losses, including his wife’s death, selling his business, and building a life centered on gratitude, compassion, forgiveness, and conscious choice. https://www.stevenferrara.com/
