The Obliterated Place is where you find yourself after an event that changes everything – a diagnosis, an accident, a natural disaster, the end of a marriage, the death of someone you love. You no longer recognize your life. The future won’t be what you envisioned. Some people are there for you. Others disappoint you when they can’t or won’t be. You measure time by before and after what happened. You are not alone. Join us in the Obliterated Place, where we witness and honor grief. We share stories and say their names. Brave faces aren’t necessary. We’re vulnerable to great sorrow when we love deeply. Your pain is a badge of honor. We can’t control much of what happens to us, but we decide how to respond. As Viktor Frankl wrote, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” Take your fragments and broken shards and create something beautiful. If you don’t know where or how to start, you’re in good company. No on
