What I Lost, What I Gained

Jess is married to a gorgeous, successful woman with two amazingly beautiful children. She lives in a great house and her kids are growing into amazing people. Her wife makes more than enough to support them, and yet...she wakes up each day feeling unfulfilled but can't understand why.

Follow her on a journey of self-awareness and self-growth as she faces one of the biggest losses life hands most of us-the fact our children will grow up to live their own lives. Most, if not all, parents ask themselves, "What is next?" as they watch their pride and joy, their reason for living grow into adulthood. Jess finally has time to think of herself and what she wants but understanding and moving on takes time and trials.
