Episode Description
In July of 1996, 18-year-old Jason Goodman grabbed a high voltage line. When he died three hours later, his mother, Sandy, found herself catapulted into a pit of darkness. Unable (and unwilling) to accept that the son she had loved and nurtured for 18 years had simply ceased to exist, she went in search of a path where she could work her way through the grief and come out on the other side with her connection to Jason still intact. Four years later she realized she had not only accomplished her intent but had found gifts along the way. Sandy is the author of “Love Never Dies: A Mother's Journey from Loss to Love” and the chapter leader of the Wind River Chapter of TCF in central Wyoming.
