Moving past suicide and creating something new

Today I am sharing my conversation with Lenore Matthew PhD, MSW.  She is a researcher/practitioner from the field of social work, as well as a young widow and a survivor of suicide loss of her husband. Prior to her loss, Dr. Matthew worked as an expert of advocacy and program evaluation for organizations across the globe, including the United Nations. She has presented her research and advocacy widely at institutions such as Harvard Medical School.Since losing her husband, her interests have shifted to trauma and traumatic loss, and healing through a mind, body, and spirit connection. She recently established the Alchemy of Science and Spirit, a project that melds science and empirical data with the exploration of intuition and the afterlife, to heal trauma and grief. Upon losing her husband, Dr. Matthew's own intuitive gifts of psychic intuition and mediumship awoke, as she immediately began receiving messages from her husband from the afterlife. She is currently training with leading mediums in the US and the UK, and aims to bring her mediumship into her healing practice as well as her advocacy, normalizing the less-talked about aspects of loss, including communicating with our loved ones in spirit.AND Again —> FIND HER HERE AT Alchemy of Science and Spirit Some Links to things mentioned in our conversation:The Forever Family Foundation Where science and spirituality work hand in hand to bring comfort to the bereavedLaura Lynne Jackson – Author/Psychic MediumSomatic Experiencing International Dr Brian Weiss MD Author & Scientist All things  John Edward Psychic MediumThe Windbridge Research Center Studying Dying, death & what comes next__________________________________________________________________________________________________AND ALWAYS … THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
