    In this podcast we are delighted to welcome Dr Jan Hux, a retired physician and past CEO of Diabetes Canada. Jan’s husband Edwin died in 2020 and she shares with us her journey of grief as a widow. Jan reflects on the past 5 years and candidly explores the challenges of spousal death and the transition to a life in which Edwin is physically absent. She shares with clarity some of the surprises, both difficult and healing that she encountered along the way. What shines through is the genuine love Jan and Edwin shared, and still do.

  • A Compassionate Friend for the Holidays

    A Compassionate Friend for the Holidays
    Dec 10 2025

    As the What Now? podcast closes out 2025, the hosts are offering a compassionate tool for the season.

    Recognizing that the holidays can carry many experiences, Julie guides a “compassionate friend” meditation for listeners who may be grieving, feeling alone, or needing extra support as we navigate the holidays. This practice is an invitation to pause, breathe, and receive kindness—imagining a wise, loving presence who sits with you in whatever you're carrying. In a season that can feel dark or overwhelming, may this meditation be a way for light to gently pierce through and remind you that you are held, seen, and not alone.

    Nov 26 2025

    In this episode, co-hosts Julie and Red interview author and psychotherapist, Kelley Raab about her latest work, Who Am I Now? Reflections on Spirituality and Grief. The conversation examines how bereavement unsettles personal identity, why spiritual frameworks can both support and complicate the grieving process, and how the death of a parent can create profound emotional and existential disorientation. Kelley offers insights from both her research and lived experience, providing listeners with thoughtful guidance on navigating grief’s impact on the self.
