About this conversation

Finding possibility when plans change

Brigitte and I explore how writing helped me navigate loss and eventually share my story with others. We also discuss letting go of certain hopes, parenting children with special needs, and how my daughter’s autism diagnosis led to Pathfinders for Autism.

Five ideas to carry with you

  1. Begin with the page

    Journaling gave me a way to work through grief and difficult experiences.

  2. Let your story grow

    What began as personal writing eventually became published work to share with others.

  3. Allow hopes to change

    Letting go of a particular outcome can make room for peace.

  4. Turn experience into service

    My daughter’s autism diagnosis helped inspire the creation of Pathfinders for Autism.

  5. Stay open to possibility

    A changed life can still hold meaning, purpose, and connection.
