Life Amplified: The Search for Resilience After Loss

At forty-five, Lila begins living life at a higher frequency. The world is brighter, the grass greener, the flowers more fragrant. She starts an art foundation in her community and begins writing a book at the suggestion of a friend- pursuits she never imagined. She is no longer fulfilling aspirations; she is creating new ones.

Two years earlier, her world had fallen apart. Her beloved sister Carolyn was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and moved into Lila's home with her family. For fourteen months, Lila became the caregiver for everyone-her sister, her nieces and nephews, and her own family. When Carolyn died, Lila felt lost and unrecognizable, drained by grief and responsibility.

Life Amplified leads the reader through a true-to-life journey from the depths of grief to the discovery of resilient self. In sharing her story, Lila acts as a guide for anyone needing to overcome the biggest obstacles of their life. In ten effective steps to personal resilience and overcoming challenges, Life Amplified presents a set of tools that will help people navigate circumstances that feel impossible.
