April J. Ford, Best-Selling Author, Survivor and Inspirational Speaker Gives Back Through own Non-Profit Benefiting Women and Children who have Experienced Loss or Abuse
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) October 31, 2014 -- Many people struggle with life’s challenges and are not prepared to handle feelings of despair, grief or emotional pain. However, best-selling author April J. Ford has had to learn to put on her own coat of armor and navigate her personal journey of struggle and heartache through the many roadblocks and potholes that her path has placed before her.
In 2010, Ford became a widow at 32 years young and was left to raise her two, young children. Not only did she lose her amazing husband, but she lost her best friend. Unprepared for the grief and the feelings of emptiness that would quickly come her way, she was equally unequipped to handle the pain that her two children would experience. Where would she turn for help? How could she get through this and was there anyone else that could help her answer the endless questions of “why?”
Ford began her fight. She began to grow and to heal, but not without realizing that she needed to share her story with others. She needed to give them the resources that she had painfully learned alone and provide a platform for others to learn the art of healing.
In 2012, Ford published her first book, and is now releasing her third in October 2014, “You Are Not Alone: How To Rise Above Life's Challenges With Grace, Gratitude, Love & Joy.” This beautifully written inspirational manuscript is about finding the gold in life's challenges while introducing us to who we are inside and the way we handle the challenges faced on a daily basis. We learn how we must transition and transform into who we are truly meant to be.

Furthermore, Ford has created her own non-profit organization, “Joys G.I.F.T.” which provides the guidance to empower widows and abused women-youth on how to transition from tragedy to triumph with a healthy mind, healed body and happy soul. Women and youth are provided the support system and infrastructure of resources for services focused on mental, emotional and spiritual healing.
