EP182: When Grief Meets Hope — Stories of Meaning Found in the Aftermath

Hope in grief doesn’t come quickly — and it never replaces the love or the loss. But over time, meaning can begin to emerge in unexpected ways: through advocacy, creativity, or simply a quiet shift in how we choose to live.

In this episode, When Grief Meets Hope: Stories of Meaning Found in the Aftermath, we explore what it means to hold both grief and hope at the same time — to find light without feeling like we’ve betrayed the darkness.

I share how meaning slowly found its way into my own life after loss, and how it continues to shape the work I do today. I also share a deeply personal story — how my late wife, Colleen, once chose hope after losing her first husband, and how her courage to believe in life again led to the life we built together.

This conversation isn’t about “moving on.” It’s about learning how love, loss, and hope can coexist — and how, in time, we can begin to live again while honoring what was lost. Whether you’re newly grieving or years down this road, this episode is a reminder that hope can exist even in the aftermath… and that the love we carry forward is often where meaning begins.
