Learning to Live After

After acquiring a spinal cord injury in 2005, I know what it’s like to have your life divided into before and after—and to realize that surviving isn’t the same as living well.

Over time, through faith, reflection, and hard-won experience, I learned that rebuilding life after loss isn’t about “getting back to normal.”

It’s about learning how to live after—with intention, courage, and hope.

That’s why I created Learning to Live After.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

You may not have chosen what happened to you.

But you can choose how you move forward.

Let me walk with you—one week at a time.
