Devine is a practicing therapist who has experienced a great amount of grief after witnessing the drowning of her partner and still manages to share the importance of love and healing. She details that living a life with honesty and a middle ground of happiness, but also recognizing the sadness is healthier than pretending to live the traditional “happy” life. Devine will show you how to deal with loss and how to look on to tomorrow.
