Meet Kerry-ann Wright

 

We recently connected with Kerry-ann Wright and have shared our conversation below.

Kerry-Ann, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?

I became sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was often feeling depressed and I wanted that to change so I made the move to get the help I needed so I got mentored for an entire year.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I am the author of the book ” The Power Of A Grieving Mother”. This book is a real life story and it was written to share about what I went through and the principles I applied to my life that took me from the depth of depression after losing my child. By sharing my story, I was also being healed and I know other persons who have lost their child or family members would have felt depresaed at some point so sharing my story is one way I am lending a helping hand.
I also donate copies of my book to mothers who might not be in a position to make a purchase but also in need of the information to help them through the grieving process.
I am also the process of establishing a foundation in my son’ honour. Its my way of honouring his memory and leaving a legacy behind that will be of assistance to other boys.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

The three qualities are:
1. I recognized that I needed help to help myself.

2. I made the move get mentored. To seek the help that I needed to move from the depth of depression to a life of purpose.

3. I applied the principles that I was taught in mentorship and I saw where it was helping me. It was very hard and at times I wanted to back out as I had to drive down memory lane but in the end it was a good for me so I continued the journey and through that I wrote my book.

The advice I would give to other people who are early in their grieving journey is to stay connected to God. I tried to heal on my own and it only made the depression more.

Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?

My mentor Deaconess Shaniel McGawn Francis has been very instrumental in my development to rise above my pain to a life of purpose and success.
