Sometimes life isn't all about rainbows and butterflies. We are faced with tragedy. Phil Cohen lost his 14-year-old son in an accident. His son went on a ferry trip and a storm came by and they never came back. The coast guards searched for 7 days, still, no bodies were found. Those 7 days were grueling to Phil, he was in the storm with him during those 7 days. Griefing is a difficult process. We don't know how or what to feel. We get lost on what to do. Phil, after a long time healed. He heard his son's voice telling him to let go and live his life and that's what he did.
