Episode 13 | What I've Learned About Love and Loss

After eighteen years of living with the loss of my son Harry, I wanted to pause and reflect on what grief has taught me.

Not because I've "moved on."
Not because the pain has disappeared.
But because grief has changed the way I understand love, life, healing, and what it truly means to keep going after the unthinkable.

In this deeply personal episode of Grieving Greatly, I share the lessons I never wanted to learn—but the ones that have shaped who I am today.

In this episode we explore:
• Why grief isn't something you "get over"
• How love and grief are forever connected
• Why joy and sadness can exist together
• What the film Inside Out taught me about the purpose of sadness
• Continuing bonds and why our relationship with those we love never truly ends
• Finding hope and meaning while still carrying profound loss

Whether you're grieving the loss of a child, partner, parent, sibling, friend, or anyone deeply loved, I hope this conversation reminds you that your grief is not something to fix.

It is evidence that you loved greatly.
