What does it mean to love someone enough to let them go?

In this episode of Pebbles of Light, Anne sits down with Jody Hudson—author, advocate, and founder of the Alex Hudson Lyme Foundation—to reflect on a decade-long journey through her daughter Alex’s illness, the uncertainty of a medical mystery, and the sacred moment that changed everything.

This conversation explores grief, faith, resilience, and the quiet ways people we love continue to guide us—even after they’re gone. Jody shares how Alex’s strength and compassion reshaped her understanding of purpose, and how loss can become something that leads us toward deeper connection and service.

If you’ve ever faced a long season of uncertainty, or wondered how to move forward after loss, this episode offers a grounded and honest perspective.

In this episode:

• Navigating uncertainty as a parent
• The emotional toll of unanswered diagnoses
• Faith during prolonged hardship
• The meaning of “letting go”
• Signs, memory, and ongoing connection
• Turning grief into purpose and advocacy
