Producer, writer and former US Ambassador Nicole Avant joins Chelsea to talk about the night her mother was killed in a violent tragedy - and what gifts can come from grief. Then: A brother struggles to find purpose after moving to a small town to care for his late sister’s kids. A co-worker wants to find lovingkindness after a promotion goes to someone else. And a daughter finds it too painful to create after her mother’s passing - but is there joy to be found in the things her mom loved?
