Survivor of Tragedy Reveals How Love Heals in New Book

Healing You With Love is a new book by mom, wife, energy practitioner, and survivor of life Jodi Suboor. It is part-memoir and part personal development book. In it, Jodi shares her personal story of growing up, and how, following her parents’ divorce, she felt unloved and like she had to do whatever she could to please others while letting her own needs be ignored.

This book is more than a memoir, however. Jodi reveals the deepest hurts of her heart and soul, honestly exploring the pain life can bring us and how that pain too often leads to making bad decisions for coping with it. For Jodi, those bad decisions often included relationships with men who took advantage of her. Fortunately, Jodi stayed strong and learned from each experience, including how not to treat others since she didn’t like how she was treated.

To add to her struggle, Jodi experienced not one, but two traumatic car accidents that nearly killed her and forced her to learn a lot about the process of healing both physically and emotionally. Yet every difficult experience life threw at her was only preparing her for the next, often more horrific experience. Or perhaps the next gift in her life, because eventually, Jodi came to realize the Universe was not letting things happen “to” her but “for” her.

Jodi’s life has not been all tragedy. She met and fell in love with a wonderful man who became her husband, and they had a son together. But her husband’s diagnosis of pancreatic cancer made the happiness short-lived as Jodi went into survivor and caretaker mode. She would drive her husband to and from appointments, while holding a bucket for him to vomit into. And even this was only preparing her for more pain after his passing.

Eventually, Jodi remarried, only to find herself taking care of her elderly and dying mother-in-law. Clearly, the Universe thought there was nothing Jodi wasn’t capable of, and she emerges from these stories as strong, positive, and giving. Today, happily married and the mother of two, she has learned to heal many of her past relationships.

To me, Jodi is a hero, someone who has found how to take the worst the world has to offer and not only refuse to give up, but find the good in it. She has learned how to attract good into her life and she shares those strategies. She has learned techniques for healing mind, body, and soul, and in her story, we can find many tools to help us survive our own obstacles.

Each chapter of Healing You With Love ends with a toolbox section that shifts the focus from Jodi to the reader, asking us to reflect on what we have read and how it may apply to our own lives. Tools are offered to help us work through the issues that may be holding us back from enjoying life, including reassessing the past, unlearning old coping strategies, and adopting new and healthier ones.

This book will resonate with moms, wives, widows, people who are having difficulty finding love, caretakers, and anyone who has just had a really hard time in life. Jodi shows how even in the midst of chaos, we can come to know that the Universe has our back and is guiding us where we need to be. Her story is one of intense struggle but also incredible gifts, and ultimately, it is one of the most calming and life-affirming books I have ever read. As Jodi quotes Gary Zukav as saying near the end of the book, “Eventually, you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.”

If you are struggling through something right now, I hope you will read Healing You With Love so you can find some of the answers you are seeking. I really believe this book will make a difference in many lives.
