READY

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Judy

One of my friends suggested that I could become a grief counselor. However, after thinking about it I decided it doesn’t entice me. I would never accept money for helping someone. It destroys everything about what I am doing, to take money from someone at their lowest point. I prefer to look at myself as helping a lot of people with what I’m doing and in some instances I don’t mind speaking with someone in despair or counseling a family.
