About Choosing My Tomorrow by Jodie Baulkham
What do you do when all your plans for tomorrow come crumbling down?
When Jodie Baulkham’s world shatters at 29 with the loss of her husband in the line of duty, she finds herself the sole parent of their 8-month-old daughter. In the aftermath of this tragedy, she undergoes a crash course in grief and despair.
Yet, as she picks up the broken pieces of her life, she uncovers something unexpected. While she grapples with profound sorrow, she also discovers the seeds of hope and joy. This memoir traces Jodie’s progression from anguish to coping, to managing, and to ultimately thriving. Through her experience, Jodie extends a roadmap for those navigating grief and demonstrating how to carve out a resilient and joyful future.
The same principles that guided her through grief become her compass in addressing challenges later in life. Her new marriage confronts the hurdles of her husband’s battle with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder, while her daughter contends with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
Navigating adversity isn’t about dismissing pain or difficulty. It’s about harnessing the power of choice. Applicable to every facet of our lives, it enables us to unveil joy in unexpected places.
Jodie’s story illustrates how we can all cultivate and nurture resilience. We each possess the strength to engage with adversity and emerge stronger with the right approach.
Choosing a better tomorrow is possible for each of us.
