Dear Friend,


In life there is pain. In life there is loss. At any moment your life can change. And because change is inevitable, your pain can be transformed.

Loss is not merely an end, it is also a beginning. A tree loses its leaves in winter, and with time those leaves transform into nourishment, and the tree grows stronger with each year. So will you. When you accept your loss, you can use the experience to grow and rebuild your life. It’s not easy or immediate, but you can transform your loss. Let me tell you the story of Oralí, a mother who lost her child Albalicia, in a car accident. After 5 months of her loss, and taking refuge in God, Oralí also wanted to gain some knowledge on how to cope with her grief and she attended a seminar I facilitated in my country, Nicaragua. She was inspired by the knowledge acquired and her great faith in God. A couple of months after, Oralí let me know she had the desire to put together a bereavement support group and wanted to know how. With my heart I supported her to make this a reality, and with the joined forces of other bereaved parents PUDE was born. This is the first bereavement support group in Nicaragua. It was born out of the love of parents who have lost a child and who wanted to transform their loss, as they honor their loved ones, into a celebration of life. Because transformation is so closed to their hearts, the members of PUDE have implemented the Eleven Principles of Transformation™ in their process.

Comments:




"In a well-organized and engagingly written book, Ligia Houben offers a map to guide people through the grieving process. The personal anecdotes make it much more “real” than books that describe situations of loss in merely abstract terms, and the interactive exercises throughout encourage the reader to explore personal reactions to loss. The author conveys genuine empathy as she talks to readers about what they are feeling, and I found myself trusting her completely as a caring guide who wants to provide grieving people a positive approach to help them move ahead toward finding the strength and hope truly to transform their lives."

-Stephen Sapp, AB, MDiv, PhD,

OTHER COMMENTS:

Transform Your Loss is a great book. As an example, it brings out real like stories and examples of how people transformed their particular losses. As a radio talk show host I know how important it is to bring real life stories out if you want to connect with people. And that is what Ligia does so well in this book--she wholeheartedly connects with people showing them ways they can help themselves. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand and deal with any type of loss in their lives.

" Hello Ligia, I am reading your book and for me, it is like a pat to the souls of the people who, like me, carry a huge pain in the soul. It is a very important resource for people going through the grieving process. Above all it leaves a message of hope, of looking towards the future… Transform your Loss is a phrase that says it all…it depends on us to be able to accept and live a life in a dignified and positive manner. The title already made me reflect and take an introspective look towards my life, before the loss and after. The testimonials are moving and enriching, they show the different ways people deal with painful situations. Ligia, you must be very happy and proud to know that this book will help many people to mitigate their grief and transform their lives."
