Grief is something that crashes into us. It takes a toll on us emotionally and physically. But when it does, it also teaches us. We grow from our journeys in life–the good and the bad.
Emily Peterson, CEO of Saranoni Luxury Blankets, knows this journey all to well.
Emily’s husband Nathan was diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer just 3 months after launching their Saranoni Cares initiative for brain cancer patients. Nathan, just in his early 50’s, only had two months before the cancer took his life.
With six kids to care for, Emily hardly had any time to grieve. She had a company that was just starting to grow and a growing family along with it. She shares her story and how she has found the will and drive to grow through this tragedy, balancing family, business, and learning to heal and live without the love of her life.
