Edna Ferman

For a long time, I thought being rich meant numbers: dollars in the bank, a secure plan, success others could see. But life has taught me a softer truth.

Endings can feel like sudden storms — divorce, children leaving home, loss, or a quiet day of questioning. I’ve felt that storm. I’ve felt the fear, the heartbreak, and the hesitation to move forward.

Every ending is really an invitation to begin again. When my marriage ended, I didn’t see it that way. I saw emptiness, loss, and uncertainty. But over time, I discovered something extraordinary: endings create space for new beginnings.
