Welcome to Love in the Mourning

I’m so glad you’re here. This is a space where we talk about the inevitable—grief, death, and all the beautiful, hard things we’re often too afraid to name.

In this first episode, I’m reading an excerpt from my book, The Hardest, Not the Worst Year: A Widow’s Journey—a reflection on energy. How it cannot be destroyed, only transformed. Just like love. Just like us.

Each week we will tackle something different. There are over 43 different types of losses and we will get all of them, I hope. Once in awhile I’ll be joined by guests who will share their stories, thoughts, challenges, healing, and the moments that changed everything. We’ll talk about end-of-life wishes, vigils, legacy, grief (there are so many types of grief) and how to create beauty and peace for both the people who are at end of life and the ones who love them.

We’re unpacking the sacred, the messy, the funny, and the deeply human experience of living and of death and all the stuff in between.

At the heart of this is love.

Let’s begin.
