Finding Meaning in Life Transitions

Getting Started With Ligia Houben

My purpose in life is to help people transform their losses or challenges into a growing experience. This growth can be personal or spiritual.

I have written three books on grief: Transform Your Loss. Your Guide to Strength and Hope; Counseling Hispanics Through Loss, Grief, and Bereavement. A Guide to Mental Health Professionals; and Transforming Grief and Loss. Workbook.

We have within ourselves the resources to live the life we are supposed to live: with meaning and purpose.

In my page www.ligiahouben.com you can have a broader description of my philosophy and the services I provide which include transition coaching and public speaking/education. I believe we all can develop the spiritual tools of forgiveness, love and gratitude and diminish the spiritual deterrents of anger, resentment and fear.

I wish you a beautiful day and always remember your life has meaning!
