What happens when grief becomes part of your legacy?

In this heartfelt episode of The Flip Side of Death, Lynn B. Stone sits down with educator, entrepreneur, and baker Stacey Taylor to talk about caregiving, anticipatory grief, hospice, losing a parent, and finding healing after loss.

After her mother, Wanda, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Stacey became both caregiver and daughter—walking through the emotional reality of preparing to lose the person who had always been her anchor.

Together, Lynn and Stacey discuss:

• Caring for an aging parent during terminal illness
• The emotional impact of anticipatory grief
• Hospice care and lessons learned
• Why grief can feel like an honor instead of something to avoid
• The importance of therapy and self-care during caregiving
• How food, traditions, and recipes carry legacy forward
• Building a business from her mother’s recipes after loss

Stacey also shares the story behind her bakery, Cakique, and how her mother’s pound cake recipes became part of a living legacy that continues to bless others today.

This conversation is raw, hopeful, emotional, and deeply comforting for anyone walking through grief, caregiving, or life after loss.
