Blessed by Death: A Grief Journey From Pain and Sadness to Peace and Sacredness

From devastating loss to profound spiritual awakening, this deeply personal and transformative memoir chronicles Alena Kupchella Gourley's raw and heartfelt journey through life, death, and the discovery of purpose.

Through the lens of nine significant losses, including the life-altering suicide of her brother in 2007 and the death of her infant son in 2021, Alena reflects on the "death of self" moments that demanded she release old stories and rebuild anew. With honesty and vulnerability, she shares how even the deepest tragedies can lead to profound spiritual growth and sacred purpose.

This is not a story of toxic positivity but an authentic exploration of grief, spirituality, and resilience. Alena shares practical tools, profound healing modalities, and sacred practices she used to navigate loss and transform grief into something meaningful. From past life regression and psilocybin journeys to daily practices like gratitude and movement, this book is a powerful resource for anyone seeking healing, renewal, and peace.

Readers will discover:

• Tools for processing grief and trauma while honoring their journey
