18 Years Later: How Grief Transformed a Mother's Life Through Music!
Description
Judy Unger is a Shining Light mother. Judy's five year old son Jason passed away in 1992 at the tender age of 5 years old. Jason had a severe congenital heart defect.
Judy's grief journey was unusual in that it was 18 years later, in 2010, at the age of 50, that Judy really began processing her grief. She joined Compassionate Friends and even led a group after Jason passed. But, it wasn't until her parents' health challenges in 2010 that Judy was broken open and experienced a creative and emotional renaissance.
I met Judy just a week or so before we recorded this interview. She joined a circle I created on Insight Timer and shared with us her course: "Healing Grief Through Music". Judy has repurposed songs she wrote early in her life and songs she wrote while she was going through her parents' health issues into a series of 10 daily lessons that beautifully portray the highs and lows of grief. I found the course to be an excellent one for anyone in the early stages of grief or really any stage.

I get that. And I want you to know there's still a place for you.
All of it, pay what you want. You decide what it's worth. Nobody gets turned away because of money.
