The Comeback Is Always Stronger Than the Setback

Maryellen’s story is one of sadness, survival and resilience as she details the toughest time of her life. As a young woman in her thirties who thought she had it all, her life abruptly changed when she experienced the loss of her father, her marriage and her mother, all within one year.

She had tough decisions to make in her quest for survival. Her journey took her to a new city and job where she had to learn to live totally on her own and create a whole new life for herself.

Maryellen’s journey wasn’t easy. However, through tears, determination and perseverance, her comeback was stronger than her setback!

Re-Collecting My Marbles: My Journey with Losing My Marbles, Re-collecting Them, and Healing

When things become so difficult that you feel you’ve lost your way, who you are, and all that makes sense – how do we cope, survive, and heal? This is the story of one woman’s experience in learning how to lean in to difficult circumstances and emotions and utilize self-compassion to heal. The goal is not to no longer lose your marbles or fall down. It is to learn to be OK with falling down, to keep standing back up and re-collecting those marbles, and to love yourself through it all.
