This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.
On Christmas Day 2011, Madonna lost her three children and parents in a fire that destroyed her Connecticut home. She survived, only to face an unimaginable new reality. Madonna spent the next two years working to overcome insurmountable grief and rebuild her life. She hopes that by sharing her story she can help others cope with loss, find meaning, and choose to live.
