A Sherpa Named Zoi: How To Walk Through Grief, And Live With Intention

By Eric Hodgdon

#1 Amazon Bestseller From TEDx Speaker, author, and trainer: a personal, inspiring and powerful resource on what it takes to get up and consistently choose to live beyond loss. After the suicide of his 15-year old daughter Zoi, Eric Hodgdon felt sure that the weeks and months ahead would be the most difficult of his life. "I felt like I was in a fog," he writes "It was wreaking havoc on me mentally, physically and emotionally. I couldn't eat, I could barely sleep, and I had phantom pains in my body." While others told Eric that mere survival was the best he could hope for, Eric didn't feel the same. Instead, He chose to get up and live beyond the loss. A Sherpa Named Zoi immerses you in Eric's very personal journey. Beginning with early-life experiences and leading up to the heart-wrenching night that Zoi took her life, Eric generously opens up his heart and shares what the days, weeks and months were like in the wake of Zoi's death. This book invites you to answer the questions that we ask the most when we lose someone we love. Questions like: * Are they ok now? * Did I do enough for the one I lost? * How can I help someone who lost a loved one? And more. We can choose to live out the rest of our days in a survival mode like many do. Alternatively, we can choose to get up and live beyond our loss. A Sherpa Named Zoi is your guide along the journey through grief, and it empowers you to frame a new mindset of vitality in this new normal. The book also guides you towards finding meaning and the greater purpose for your life, functioning with the intention of living fully again, and forming new core values that fuel your movement up and out of grief. A few weeks after losing Zoi, Eric told his friend "This feels I am walking through a dark chasm with no map." His friend replied. "Zoi will always guide you" and then promised to keep reminding Eric of that for as long as needed. We all need a guide through the darkness of grief and loss. We must survive first. It is necessary. However, it will only be OK when we focus on living beyond our loss.
