"Always At Choice -- Coping With Grief and Loss" with Larry Freeborg

We may not be able to choose the circumstances we're in, but we always have a choice regarding how we respond. That is just one of the life lessons Larry Freeborg talks about in his book, "Always At Choice: Strategies for Moving on After the Death of a Spouse or Life Trauma." Larry was forty years old when his wife died from acute leukemia on the day after Christmas. He became a widower with four young children. Larry started his life over during a recession, with no job, no money, and no partner to help him raise his children. He discusses what he learned, what helped, and what's important. Larry's book and contact information can be found at alwaysatchoice.net.
