The Grief That Waits

This episode isn’t about falling apart.
It’s about what happens when you don’t get to.

Years of caregiving, responsibility, and loss piled up without pause — love stayed busy, and grief had to wait. This episode reflects on parents who built a life around saying yes, adopting, fostering nearly 100 children, loving fiercely for almost 50 years, and the quiet weight carried by those who showed up for them.

It’s a story about being chosen, trusted, and remembered.
About real, complicated love.
And about why grief doesn’t arrive on a schedule.

If you’re still functioning, still holding everything together, and wondering why you haven’t broken yet — this episode is for you.

Grief didn’t abandon you.
It waited.
