Episode 29 - Finding David - Feeling Happiness Again with Ciara O'Malley

Part 2 of Ciara's story of the tragic loss of her partner David who sadly drowned in an accident while they were living in Vancouver. After months of searching for David's body and essentially grieving twice when they finally found his body, Ciara speaks about how David pushed her forward to find happiness again. Ciara is so grateful to be exactly where she is today and although it was far from an easy journey, she is proof that you CAN get to the other side of things and feel happy again.  Since the accident, Ciara has written her own book called ‘Miracles Appear When Loved Ones Are Near’ and she speaks with such honesty and rawness about the emotions and tough times she went through over the months that they searched for David’s body and the years following that. She is living proof that everything happens for a reason and loved ones are always guiding us. She is honestly one of the nicest and more caring people I have encountered and I encourage everyone to listen to her positivity because if she can come out the other side of a tragedy like that mentally and go on to help others then we all have the ability to overcome whatever battles we face.
