Dealing with loss is one thing in which no two person’s responses are quite the same. For Carmen Taylor, losing her husband in a motorcycle accident was undoubtedly painful, but her responses are geared toward positive outcomes.
The sudden arrival of news about her husband’s death was a shock, but well established beliefs and character traits helped her through with the early days of Jai’s death. Carmen continues on a surer, more stable track.
In this podcast interview, we can hear how her responses are unique for the experience
Carmen firmly says “No” to survivor guilt, keeps up her family’s morale, and keeps fit in spiritual and mental terms, a continuous daily focus towards excellence. In fact, the interview has a definite focus on the mental aspect of how to survive and thrive through challenges and the unexpected.
The former Olympian (military pentathlon) also points out how the strong spiritual dimension of their relationship guides her actions towards joy and positivity.
Carmen and Jai incorporated many tools into their lives that he embraced through the Mind Matters retreats, these having developed in her a constant gratitude for her blessings coupled with a deep understanding of the temporal nature of life and it helped her to have the joy and spiritual strength for living.
This decisive focus is one that relates directly to business, and it’s also applicable to this or any challenging time.The experience has been humbling, but also a beautiful and empowering one for Carmen and her family.
