Resilience with Deb Newman
The best part of this journey in finding my creative outlet has been, hands down, working with Deborah Newman, web designer extraordinaire, uniter of communities, and all-around fantastic girl. I met her when she revamped the website of the museum where I volunteer, and I couldn't wait to start working with her on what is now my beautiful website.
She has been so patient as I've worked to learn this new technology and I couldn't have accomplished what I have without her. She is a delight, lighting up the room when she enters. She's funny and kind. I love being in her orbit.
So it may surprise you to learn that 12 years ago, she very suddenly lost the love of her life while her 7-year-old daughter was at school. I love that Deb wanted to share her story, warts and all. For someone who never saw herself as a wife and mom, I know she could never have imagined having to dig her way out of crippling grief to find the sun again.
I thank her so much for allowing me to share her story, in hopes that others might know you're not alone. We all grieve in our own way; there is no right or wrong way to do it. I hope you enjoy this candid conversation.
