Dr. Traci L. Scheepstra

Fifteen months.

Since the day my husband died, I’ve been acutely aware of time.

How elusive it is.
That it is non-linear.
How life carries on
How much I HAVE CHANGED

Living in the aftermath of a sudden death has been a wild ride.

Navigating the waves of grief, healing my nervous system, and feeling grounded and joyful in my life again has been a process of great effort and faith.

Yet, here I am. Fifteen months in and rising.

What I have gone through is beyond anything I could have imagined or expected. However, it’s shaping me in ways I am grateful for.

Ways I don’t even know yet.

While much of what happens in our lives is out of our control, how we respond to it is. It is through this experience that I’ve truly come to understand what that means.

I choose to be happy.
I choose to be grateful.
I choose to live my best life.

I know Rob is cheering me on and would want that for me.
