    17 Days The Sonya and Shane Musgrove Story
    2026/06/08
    In just 17 days, Shane Musgrove's life changed forever. What began as a routine visit to the ER turned into a devastating diagnosis—and a journey through love, loss, and unimaginable grief. In this deeply moving conversation, Shane shares the story of his wife Sonia, their 22-year marriage, and the strength of a family facing the unthinkable. From the overwhelming support of their community to the intimate, final moments spent at home, Shane opens up about what it means to walk through grief while still showing up for his children, his family, and himself. His story is both heartbreaking and profoundly human. Today, Shane has transformed his pain into purpose through "17 Days," using his voice to support others navigating loss. This episode is a powerful reminder of the impact of love, the importance of community, and the resilience of the human spirit.
