In Chapter 11, we met Wild Bill—an adventurer whose perfectionism threatened to derail his life.
Today, we bring you Bernice—a tireless caregiver who, after losing her husband, immersed herself in work while neglecting her own well-being.
Bernice’s Story
Bernice’s life was shaped by longstanding family tensions and the passing of a loved one, events that led her to pour all her energy into helping others instead of facing her own needs. Once a trusted friend encouraged her to seek support, she came to terms with the physical and emotional burdens she’d been avoiding. By taking practical steps to bring order to her home—and her heart—Bernice rediscovered what really mattered, including an important relationship she feared was lost.
Lessons Learned

When we’re overwhelmed by loss, “staying busy” can hide deeper issues that need confronting. - The Value of Outside Support
Sometimes it takes an ally—a friend, a coach, or a professional—to push us toward essential change. - Renewal After Letting Go
Releasing what holds us back creates space for healing, reconnection, and fresh possibilities.
