What happens when unimaginable loss forces you to rethink life, love, and even death itself?

On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed sits down with author Steven Ferrara for a deeply personal conversation about grief, healing, gratitude, spirituality, and discovering peace after profound loss.

Steven’s journey was forever changed by the death of his 23-year-old son, Christopher, followed later by the passing of his wife of 38 years, Alie. Rather than allowing grief to become the final chapter, Steven began searching for a deeper understanding of life, consciousness, presence, and the enduring nature of love.

In his book, Grief to Gratitude: Finding the Inner Pathway to Healing and Peace, Steven shares personal journal entries, lessons, and insights from that journey, offering a perspective for people navigating loss and searching for meaning on the other side of pain.

Steven also brings decades of experience in personal development and spirituality. He previously spent 25 years as CEO of a financial services firm before selling the company in 2020 and dedicating himself more fully to his spiritual work.

This conversation explores how grief changes us, why gratitude can become part of healing, what loss can teach us about being present, and how love can continue even when someone's physical presence is gone.
