125. FREEING MYSELF from a Lifetime with Narcissists | Dana Diaz

The Beautiful Side of Grief

In this episode we explore the grief related to abuse - and more specifically narcissistic abuse. If you have a close relationship with your family - think for a moment what that relationship would look like if they set you for a lifetime of abuse as you were growing up, and then into your adulthood. Instead of giving you the love and support you deserved, they chose to cover their own tracks from possible exposure, by making you out to be the bad guy and supporting your abusive partner instead. Truly, It's enough to send anyone crazy! Having the courage to stand up for yourself and speak your...

121. Ministering to Your OWN Grief | Rev. Jocelyn Jones

The Beautiful Side of Grief

Sometimes we can just be too close to a situation. We don't want to see what is right in front of us. This was true for Rev. Jocelyn when she was facing her beloved father's battle with Alzheimer's. She initially didn't want to see her strong, capable, and loving dad was having issues with memory loss right before her eyes. When she did face it, however, she decided that she was going to her best, along with her brother, to find the happy moments and memories in this journey, as well as supporting their mum, who was his primary caregiver. This is a great conversation about being human,...

On The Beautiful Side of Grief today I get to speak to Amber's incredible mum, Patti DiMiceli who went through this with Amber at the tender age of 41/2.

Amber was not afraid.

She even picked out the clothes she wanted to wear to Heaven

The story of how Patti and Amber prepared for this event - which she describes it as a Miracle, will bring tears to your eyes - so make sure you have some tissues handy before listening!

How Patti viewed this event is also profound - it is one that has elevated and sustained her, and many others around the world, since Amber's death.

This is a beautiful conversation with a lady I consider an Angel herself with all the incredible work she is doing to ease the pain of others and bring light into their world.

Patti's Bio

Born in the City of Angels (LA, California) at the Queen of Angels Hospital, Patti knew she was chosen at an early age, though she didn’t know why. And then she discovered a small lump behind her daughter, Amber’s ear, in August of 1979. It was a discovery that would change her life, her destiny, and the world. Her story, chronicled in Amber’s book, Embrace the Angel, challenges the notion of death and invites us to harness the power of “Crossing the Threshold” to enrich the lives of others…to transform this world for the better. Using the tools, skills, and talents given to her by The Divine, Patti created Tobias & Co. LLC, a company devoted to elevating others, offering hope and inspiration to the bereaved and critically ill, and sharing her unique creations that delight the senses, soothe the soul, and lift the spirit.

She has featured in the Associated Press, the Bridgeport Post, the National Enquirer, The Capital, Natural Health Village, the Milford Citizen, New Haven Register, the New Haven Advocate, and on The Morning Show NYC with Regis and Kathy Lee, Channel 30 News, New Haven, CT, Good Day Boston, WUSA News, Washington, DC, WBAL News, Baltimore, MD.

Patti has also been named Milford’s Renaissance Woman by the New Haven Advocate.

Quote:

"I was standing in line getting something for Amber and I heard 'turn around', and I turned around and there was a big rack of keys, big golden keys, and the words, 'give this to Amber, and tell her it's the key to heaven'." ~ Patti DiMiceli
