Grief to Gratitude

Submitted by: Liz Rolls Holmes

St Andrews, Manitoba, Canada

Born in Niagara Falls, ON, CA. My father was an Anglican Minister - Rev. Robert Rolls. My Mother is still a singer and entertainer Barbara Alcorn. They gave me my strong foundation of faith.

We just celebrated our 2nd year wedding anniversary on Monday. My husband Glenn said to me, “These past 3 months have been utopic.” (he was referring to me attending AA meetings). We were getting ready for the next Shriner Parade – my husband rides a three wheel trike, and is a member of the “Ruff Riders”. I received a phone call around noon on Thursday Aug 16, which sent me to the airport to get more information. As I waited at the airport, I received another call. “Liz, I have some terrible terrible news.” “Go ahead, I said.” “It has been confirmed by Transport Canada, that there was a mid air collision, and Glenn was pronounced dead at the scene. I am so sorry.”

I will never forget that day.

It was suggested to me in January to watch The Secret. I did, and I bought the CDs for my car, and the speaker CDs. What I have learned, is I was cradled throughout this difficult period in my life. I came back into the fellowship 3 months before the tragedy, and I was surrounded with family & friends.

It takes time to heal, and I was ready to listen to The Secret at exactly the time I received it.

I did not have to advertise selling our home. Cindy, my friend that suggested I watch The Secret, along with her fiance, put an offer on this property. I countered and they accepted – it will close 2 months after probate – whenever that happens – no pressure.

I just received my 9 month sobriaty chip last Thursday, and spoke at Gratitude Day in Winnipeg last Saturday.

Start Where You Stand, and stick with the living, that’s what I said. I have so many things to be grateful for.

Here is a funny – I was playing Scrabble with my daughter and Rod. I told them to be prepared because I was going to win. Well, I put the word ‘grievers’ down hitching up with an e, and utilized 2 triple word scores, and a bonus 50 points for using all of my tiles – beyond your wildest dreams!! I guess so!!

Thank you all for sharing the Secret, and promoting the law of attraction.

Love Liz.
