Danny Cieniewicz is my brother-in-law and a man who has significantly impacted my perspective and life in countless ways.
His energy, passion, faith, character, and love of life continuously motivate me to be a better man.
I’ve written on an experience with a close friend who lost his daughter as well as my own experiences with losing babies through miscarriage that have changed me.
Danny and his incredible wife, Carly, have their own devastating yet inspirational story of loss that illuminates the power of family, faith, and fortitude.
This was one of the most impactful discussions I’ve ever had.
Danny courageously reflects on the most difficult trial in his life while providing perspective-setting insights we all can consider before our own inevitable trials.
Along with his personal story of losing his stillborn son, we discussed:
Family and support systems
Trauma response
Signs
Love
Faith
Connection
Grief
Gifts
Limitations of preparation
Compatibility
Presence
Control over your story
Perspective
We can’t change the past but we can definitely choose how to frame it.
We can’t control the future but we can definitely prepare to meet it.
This episode provides mental, physical, and spiritual considerations to both frame the past and effectively meet the uncertain future.
Danny provides insight and wisdom that can help anyone resiliently respond to life’s most challenging forms of adversity.
I will cherish this conversation for the rest of my life.
