At age 40, Larry Freeborg's life as he knew it ended in a single week.

Just after Christmas 1979 his wife Shirley lost her battle with leukemia. Days later, his job of eighteen years was gone. In one brutal turning of the calendar he was a widowed father of four with no income... and no roadmap forward.

What followed - wasn't a quick recovery. It was a decades long journey into the nature of grief, loss, love and the remarkable human capacity to begin again.

Along the way in a psych ward, of all places, with a French knife in his hand and a chicken he couldn't figure out how to cook a steadfast nurse said something that changed everything.

You are always at choice.

Three words that became a philosophy. A practice. A life.

Today Larry is the author of Always At Choice and the founder of Stepping Through the Gate a wise elder coaching practice, helping people move from profound loss into healing, renewal and what he calls fully engaged life possibilities.

His message is both simple and quietly radical.

Loss changes everything. But it never takes away your power to choose, to heal, to grow or triumph...

And to live again.
