Karen V. Johnson
Hay House author of Living Grieving book awards

ATLANTA, February 17, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Hay House author Karen V. Johnson, JD, was awarded the Silver Nautilus Award for her new book Living Grieving: Using Energy Medicine to Alchemize Grief and Loss. Based on Karen's heartbreaking journey of losing her son to a drug overdose, she blends her personal journey through grief with the transformative healing path she discovered along the way.

Karen V. Johnson's fast-paced professional life came to an abrupt halt when she lost her 27-year-old son to a heroin overdose. Rather than grieve in a way that made people around her comfortable, she did the unexpected. She left her lifetime appointment as a Federal Judge of over 30 years, sold her house and all her belongings, and went on a two-and-a-half-year journey that took her all over the world, finding a healing and spiritual practice along the way.

Karen didn't think she could ever find her way out of despair, but she found a process that worked - a sacred journey and map through grief and loss that she shares with others so they can heal too. The Hay House, Nautilus award-winning book Living Grieving: Using Energy Medicine to Alchemize Grief and Loss offers simple-to-use tools to address grief and loss of any kind. Including grief and loss of:

• a passed loved one
• a beloved pet
• a former way of life
• a job
• a home
• a sense of self

It's not possible to go back to the life we lived before grief and loss, but we don't have to remain stuck in the overwhelming emotions of guilt, anger, fear, resentment, and despair - a stagnant place of lifelessness.
