Grief doesn’t just break a heart; it rewrites a life. We sit with Roseanne as she shares the day her husband died by suicide, the instant plunge into darkness, and the long, imperfect climb back to light. Her story is raw and steady at once—part survival, part surrender—and it opens a wider conversation about black grief, gendered expectations, and why therapy remains taboo in so many families.

We talk candidly about shock, denial, and the relentless to-do list that follows a sudden loss: children to care for, businesses to close, homes to manage, and unfinished plans that won’t wait. Roseanne explains how “strong black woman” armor keeps you moving but can also keep you from feeling, and how allowing collapse—crying in the quiet, resting when the body demands—became a turning point. She describes the early months as steps from minutes to days, when distraction helped her function, and reflection helped her heal.

Support becomes a lifeline in this conversation: friends who flew across borders, family who moved in, check-ins that made grief bearable. We explore the hidden nature of trauma, how joyful masks can hide deep pain, and why de-stigmatizing therapy is not a slogan but a safety measure. Roseanne also shares the strange grace of dreams and symbols—a hummingbird in the window, a voice in the night—that helped her shape meaning from loss. Over time, she learned to move lighter, manage stress, and reimagine work and life with her values at the center.

If you’re walking through your own valley, you’ll find practical hope here: take time with yourself, ask for help, try therapy, and accept that healing is less about going back and more about learning to carry love differently.
