Summary

Sometimes, we have to get lost to find ourselves. After the death of a loved one, the grief can seem overwhelming. Life feels like a constant state of ups and downs, and it's hard to know what may activate the sorrow. The grief doesn't go away, it just gets softer and smaller until you learn to live with it.
After her partner died in 2020, Becky Gibler finally felt a sense of peace in December 2021, but as another new year came around, the intense pain of her loss surfaced again. With no destination in mind, she felt compelled to get in her car and drive. A month-long journey turned into two, with many twists and turns along the way. Becky faced her fears and came back with a deep sense of who she is and what she wants to do with her life. The author went through an incredible transformation in those two months and came back with a clearer picture of her life's path. She felt called to share her story with others who may be struggling with the pain of loss.

"Wherever The Road…" chronicles the lessons the author learned on her journey – lessons that she hopes will resonate with, and bring hope and healing to, others who are facing a similar path.
