Being the only girl with three older brothers and loving parents, she felt life was near perfect. However, by the age of eight, her young life would be turned upside down. At six, her mother died of breast cancer, and just two years later, her father took his own life after struggling with the effects of a massive stroke. The family moved on the only way they knew how. They never looked back. They tucked away all of their grief in order to find the strength to move on.In her forties, Madonna was a successful corporate executive, yet she found herself struggling with intimate relationships and a sense of deep disconnection to her life.
