Book Description
Allowing us to learn lessons, let go of toxicity, and gain insight. Relationships can play a powerful role in our lives. They are formed with people, alcohol, animals, battlefields, diseases, drugs, environments, and even our emotions. Whether toxic or nontoxic, relationships are an integral component of daily living.

In this book, the author explores the effects that her relationships with grief, pain, trauma, and forgiveness have had on her life.

Its message reveals that life brings many challenges and that each challenge provides lessons to be learned.
