While we can try to ignore the reality, internationally known author and speaker Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen suggests we do the exact opposite: face it. By encountering the frightening world of serious illness and death, we can better uncover how it gives purpose to the journey of souls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrust what you know in your bones.\u003c\/b\u003e Dr. Bolen shares how what we learn often connects to what we know to be true.
