What Is My Daily Ransom?

My Daily Ransom is learning what is holding you back each day.

Ransom is a noun, and the meaning per the dictionary is, the redemption of a prisoner of a kidnapped person, of captured goods, etc., for a price.

I realized that I was holding myself for ransom through my grief, depression, anxiety, and feeling of loneliness. I couldn’t relate to anyone. I wasn’t able to truly experience my life because I felt like I was betraying my brothers since they couldn’t experience success. That’s when I realized that I was actually holding myself and my potential for ransom every single day, and I was determined to set myself free.

Do I still have rough days? Absolutely.
Do I still cry and wonder why from time to time? Yep!
Do I also laugh so hard I cry over ridiculously funny things? Without a doubt!
Am I now celebrating my wins and milestones? You beat ya!

Grief isn’t a journey per se, it’s a lifestyle of sorts. It’s a new way of living and loving. It doesn’t have to be isolating and that’s why I am here.

My Daily Ransom is here as a tool and resource to move with your grief instead of being stuck in it. I was stuck, and now I’m carrying it in a meaningful way. Let’s get you unstuck.

P.S. This pertains to both grief of losing loved ones (I like focusing on sibling grief), as well as the grief of autoimmune disease and the impact it has on our daily lives.
