  • 82: Vicki Goodman - A ROCK MOVING Journey through grief
    Dec 30 2024
    Welcome Back ROCK MOVERS We are in the final week of Season 5 and today we want to introduce you to Vicki Paris Goodman. She shares her transformative journey through grief after the loss of her husband, Sam and discusses how her experiences led her to a deeper understanding of life, death, and spirituality. Vicki emphasizes the importance of reframing grief, finding joy, and recognizing the signs from loved ones in the afterlife. Her book, 'To Sam With Love,' serves as a beacon of hope for those navigating their own grief, encouraging them to embrace life and the lessons that come with adversity. So WHO IS VICKI? Vicki Paris Goodman is the author of To Sam, With Love: A Surviving Spouse’s Story of Inspired Grief. After the death in 2019 of her husband Sam, the love of her life, she was unexpectedly flooded with optimism and presented with a host of possibilities for an exciting and meaningful future. She received valuable insights, seemingly coming from an outside source, enabling her to conceive a more realistic and uplifting understanding of adversity and loss. She knows these concepts will free others to face the passing of a loved one with a far more optimistic outlook. Having lived most of her life in the Los Angeles area, Ms. Goodman now resides in Prescott, Arizona. She is a retired mechanical engineer. She sings and plays violin semi-professionally. And for over twenty years she served a Long Beach (CA) area newspaper as theater critic. She is currently writing her second book, Speed Bumps: And Other Impediments to Life in the Fast Lane, a slightly self-deprecating treatise on the trials of life, especially from the point of view of a type A personality. Takeaways Vicki's journey through grief transformed her understanding of life and death. She found hope and guidance in her spiritual beliefs after Sam's passing. The idea that death can be reframed as a natural part of life is empowering. Vicki's book aims to uplift others experiencing loss and grief. Humor and joy can coexist with grief, providing comfort and healing. Serendipitous signs from loved ones can offer reassurance during difficult times. Processing grief requires a balance between activity and quiet reflection. Survivor's guilt is common, but it's important to let go of guilt and embrace happiness. Vicki encourages others to be open to guidance and signs from the universe. Adversity can be viewed as an opportunity for growth and learning.
