By Helene Segura | September 7, 2016 |

How do you stay productive during the grieving process? If you read my last blog, you know about my mom. That Monday afternoon, I was expecting a call from my NSA pal, Amy Kinnaird, at 4 PM. The phone rang early at 3:54. “Wow, she’s on top of things,” I thought. I checked the caller…
