Award-winning and heralded as “a book that can strengthen the spirit of its reader and transform or even save lives,” Move Forward Stronger is like a friend when we’re in need, the therapist we’re hesitant to call, and the inner voice we’ve been listening for...telling us: “You can feel happiness again.”
Something happened. The death of someone you love. A suicide, divorce or loss of a close relationship, job, career, or business. A negative change in your financial picture. A medical diagnosis or tragic accident. A physical or emotional injury. It happened. Now what?
How you cope with and process it determines the quality of your life, your interactions, and relationships after it. Julia A. Nicholson’s Move Forward Stronger provides a dynamic framework that empowers you with a new mindset, equips you with practical tools to use in any situation (personally or professionally), and gives you a new way to process unpredictable and unwanted change and loss in a positive and productive way, integrate it into your life, and get something valuable from it going forward.
You’ll emerge believing in the power within yourself to move forward stronger instead of getting stuck in what or why it happened — confident knowing that you can process change, loss, and grief in a positive and productive way, and that you can learn to live with your losses instead of living in them.
If you are stuck in feelings and emotions of grief and the conventional wisdom isn’t helping you, you’re not losing your mind (though sometimes it might feel that way). What happened cannot be undone or bargained away. You are not a failure. There is nothing wrong with you, you are not to blame, and you are not alone.
“For people like me, who have been ready to give up on life more than once, how do we find momentum, a purpose, or a reason to go on living in the face of our feelings and emotions? It’s not about being knocked down and getting back up one more time. Yes, getting up is important, but how you get back up — ideally more confident, determined, resilient, stronger — is what truly makes the difference.” Julia A. Nicholson
